Dear List,
I have had a long chase trying to compile GiNaC-
The problem has been trying to compile the CLN tests and libraries.
The symptoms are that the CLN test break and GiNaC fails to compile- compiler g++ --version 2.96 (nasty RH version) under linux
the problem is caused by the following line in cln-config libdirs=-L${exec_prefix}/lib If this is present then the compiler flags see -L/usr/local/etc/etc and then the compiler cannot find any of the usual libraries and so breaks this test and doesn't make.
Commenting out this line with '#' fixes the problem.
This is probably not a ginac problem- so this is for information only-
If the line -L/usr/local/etc/etc is present and the compiler does not look at the usual places for the library as well then the compiler is broken, since the -L flag only extends the path where libraries are searched, it doesn't replace it. I don't really think it is, though. The problem must be elsewhere.
From GCC's documentation:
`-LDIR' Add directory DIR to the list of directories to be searched for `-l'. Regards -richy. -- Richard B. Kreckel <Richard.Kreckel@Uni-Mainz.DE> <http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~kreckel/>
