Re: [Aptos-devel] Compiling Help

[Brent M. <bre...@gm...>]

Hi David-
The compile is failing during the final step, linking, where all the
individual object files are connected with the libraries on the computer.
The important error messages are the  "cannot find -lm" and "cannot find
-lc" lines. These are the math and C libraries, which should be on every
Linux machine.

There are a couple things that come to mind that might be causing the
problem:

1: You have a 64 bit machine, and it is trying to find 32bit libraries
2. The libraries are in a non-standard place on SuSe

If you are on a 64 bit machine, the current version won't work anyway, but
fear not: I have a 64 bit release ready, I just have to post it to
Sourceforge. You may know already, but ff you run the command:

uname -m

you should find out whether you have a 64bit or 32bit machine. On my 32 bit
machine, I get "i686" and on my 64bit machine I get "x86_64".

To find out where the libraries are, I can run the following command:

find / -name "lib[cm]\.[aso]*" 2>/dev/null

This should tell you where your libraries are, and you can adjust the
configure options (see "./configure --help") to tell it where to find them.
Also look in /etc/ld.so.conf for the places that the gcc compiler is
looking for system libraries.

I don't have time tonight to do anything else, but I should have the 64 bit
version up by this weekend. Let me know what you find out, and we will take
it from there.

Brent-
