installed cln on a pentium: no errors, make check passed, make install works. I couldn't use it to build GiNaC because I don't know how to tell GiNaC to find cln in my customized install dir, any hints?
Yes. Read the documentation. It'll be something like $ ../path/to/ginac/configure CPPFLAGS=-I${prefix}/include \ LDFLAGS=-L${prefix}/lib where ${prefix} is whatever you pass to --prefix and you'll probably have to do an $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}${prefix}/lib $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH before that. (The weird LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is so that you don't end up with a solitary colon at the beginning of the path, making the current directory eligible for library loading, and at the same time prevent overwriting of a previous setting). Can you build and use GiNaC then? Note: I have never used GiNaC myself and thus this is all a bit speculative. Furthermore, you'll also have to do the `-m32' and setarch thing for builing GiNaC as well (or better: build it on the x86 right away, like you did with cln). Regards, Ralf
