Problem installing from cvs in Ubuntu 8.04. was Re: [Gretl-users] Problem updating from cvs in Fedora 8
11:54 a.m.
Alin
I tried to upgrade to fc9 using a disk which I had checked as part of
the install system but regrettably the install failed with a
segmentation fault close to the end of the upgrade. Some programs
would not run afterwards and the system was generally unstable. I
checked a live version of Ubuntu 8.04 and it appeared to run well even
detecting my wireless card automatically and I installed it deleting
my fc9 in the process.
I have installed R, Octave, Maxima, TexLive and several other programs
of interest. The latest version of Gretl on the Ubuntu repositories
is 1.7.1 which is a bit old. I tried to install from cvs but have
some problems installing lapack3-dev. If my interpretation of the
output below is correct lapack3-dev requires either refblas3-dev or
atlas3-base-dev. It appears that there is some kind of conflict
between these two packages and r-base-dev. Is there a way around
this. lWill the problem go away later this month when Ubuntu 8.10 is
released. It appears that the upgrade is easier in Ubuntu than in
Fedora.
Best regards
John

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
lapack3-dev: Depends: refblas3-dev but it is not going to be installed or
atlas3-base-dev but it is not going to be installed or
libblas-3.so

After a little googling, I'm confirmed in this opinion. I think
you'd need fc9 to use the current gretl rpm -- but perhaps "yum
update <stuff>" may work to bring fc8 up to date?

Unfortunately the choice of blas can be very confusing. You
should look for packages with "gf" in the name (gf -> gfortran).
Otherwise you're liable to get a blas which depends on the older
GNU fortran compiler, g77, and this may well conflict with R.
I don't have access to an ubuntu system at work, but from home I
can check which packages I have installed on ubuntu 8.04.

I think that I have an up to date version of the gfortran compiler. I
have copied the results of what i think are the relevant dpkg --list
commands below.
Thank you for your help.

I think that I have set up the libraries properly but I still have
problems. ./config appears to run (config.log is attached) but make
will not run. The output of make is below. I have deleted everything
in the cvs directory, reloaded the cvs directory and repeated the
process with fresh files and still get the same result. There are no
*.gmo files in `/home/frainj/cvs/gretl/po'.

You need to install the gettext package. From config.log:
configure:4029: checking for msgfmt
configure:4064: result: no
configure:4070: checking for gmsgfmt
configure:4101: result: :
configure:4152: checking for xgettext

Something's not quite right with the test for gmsgfmt in
the configure script, but anyway, the message is clear.

All is working at this stage. There are a few other things that the
new Linux user might watch out for. Some of the directories in my
cvs directory were owned by root and were not being updated. The
Ubuntu version of Gretl installs in /usr and not in /usr/local. You
must delete the /usr/gretl directory or the cvs version of the Gretl
gui appears to look for some files there and will not start.
In updating the cvs version should I delete gretl files from
/usr/local before updating or is it sufficient to just allow make
install to over write everything.
Finally thanks for your help. I probably made it hard work but there
is considerable satisfaction in seeing the finished version working
Best regards
John
