#244 reopening compilation fix from #2943558

[Ben Ward]

I tried what you suggested, and it appears that file is either missing, or just not in the correct location.

[ben@kalkulon ~]$ nm src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a | grep tkImgFmtPIX
nm: 'src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a': No such file
[ben@kalkulon ~]$

Sean, I tried what you suggested. before the bug tracker closed that issue... here is your suggestion.

Your latest error doesn't make a whole lot of sense and may simply
indicate your compilation is in some peculiar state from rerunning make.
It's complaining about a missing symbol that should be provided by a
library that it's linking in. What does this output:

nm src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a | grep tkImgFmtPIX

It should report something like this:

sushi:~/brlcad morrison$ nm src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a|grep
tkImgFmtPIX
../libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a(libtclcad_la-tkImgFmtPIX.o):
00000720 D _tkImgFmtPIX

If it does, then try running this and report the output:

cd src/bwish

and here is my ouput from the error in compiling BRL-CAD.

[ben@kalkulon ~]$ nm src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a | grep tkImgFmtPIX
nm: 'src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a': No such file
[ben@kalkulon ~]$ su
Password:
[root@kalkulon ben]# nm src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a | grep tkImgFmtPIX
nm: 'src/libtclcad/.libs/libtclcad.a': No such file
[root@kalkulon ben]#

so what do you suggest at this point?

thanks for all the advice and patience thus far.

I wondered where/why this file was missing, so I looked through the directory path, and here is what I found..

so I saw the file was in the path where I thought it should be, so I ran the comman again, and got the same output...
and I have the man page for the "nm" command, so I (perhaps incorrectly) assume that the gnu tool is loaded.
and following the same logic, I also have the man page for the grep comman... so I'm not sure what exactly is missing (ie whether it is the file, or the commands to check it with)
