[GiNaC-list] linking error with ginac example program derivative.cpp

11 Jul 2012


      I am just starting with ginac but unable to build the derivative.cpp
program from doc/examples/ in ginac-1.6.2 Others of the examples
that I tried were built successfully, eg compile1.cpp and compile3.exe

I am using these versions of ginac and cln:
    cln-1.3.2
    ginac-1.6.2
These libraries were built without problems as per INSTALL instructions.

compiler (gcc --version):
    gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

platform (uname -a):
    CYGWIN_NT-5.1 dell 1.7.15(0.260/5/3) 2012-05-09 10:25 i686 Cygwin

command line of compile and link steps:
    g++ -c -Wall -g -I.. -I../ginac -DIN_GINAC  -o gcc/derivative.o
derivative.cpp
    g++ -o derivative gcc/derivative.o ../ginac/.libs/libginac.a
/usr/local/lib/libcln.a -ldl
    ../ginac/.libs/libginac.a(parser.o): In function
`_ZNSt16invalid_argumentD1Ev':
    /home/Owner/technical/ginac-1.6.2/ginac/parser/parser.h:46:

    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It is beyond my current abilities to sort out this problem. Could
someone tell me what is going wrong?
