[Gretl-devel] Re: pca command dependency

Hi all,
I've compiled gretl using latest git version on an otherwise clean ubuntu
19.10 system. Gretl works fine for most stuff I am doing there. However, the
"pca" command fails, and I guess there is some package dependency which I am
not fulfilling and which is not required for compiling gretl.
<output>
/usr/local/lib/gretl-gtk2/pca.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
So the pca plugin was not built. It includes a GUI element and calls
a LAPACK function so it depends on both GTK_LIBS and LAPACK_LIBS as
well as libgretl -- but it's not alone in that respect, the same
goes for the leverage plugin. And GTK_LIBS is required for the gretl
GUI program, and LAPACK_LIBS for libgretl, so there's no real
"extra" dependency.
I suggest doing "make" in the plugin directory with "quiet_build"
turned off (if you have it on via configure), and seeing what goes
on. (quiet_build is set to "yes" or "no" on line 19 of
plugin/Makefile.)
