A follow-up to my previous e-mail, based on further
experimentation on compiling gretl 1.7.5 under both OpenSUSE &
Ubuntu 8.04. It seems that the only way to get a fully
functioning version of gretl using the current configuration
script is to include the option "--prefix=/usr" in the configure
command. Without that, some files get put in places where gretl
can't find them.
Which files get lost in this way?
There is an additional problem under Ubuntu 8.04...
/usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol:
_gfortran_pow_r8_i4
Jack has responded to this one. I'll just add that it seems to me
to be a slight glitch in the Ubuntu packaging system. The package
containing liblapack.so.3gf should really have a dependency on
the gfortran package, but it doesn't.
You won't hit this issue if you use the "vanilla" lapack package,
but if you're using the "gf" atlas lapack, uninstall g77 and
install gfortran.
