[Echempp-devel] new version of Loki library

[<ber...@t-...>]

Dear all,

while improving the Experiment class hierarchy, I detected a problem in 
the Loki library which we use quite extensively. It appeared that the 
problem was already known to the developers of that code, and their most 
recent version (0.1.3) avoided copiler errors. I have downloaded and
used this new version, however, a couple of central functions had 
changed names, so I had to do additional changes to the EChem++ code.
Moreover, some of the Loki functionality is now in a library (libloki).
Thus, you should add a new variable LOKILIB to your environment which 
points to the path where lokilib.a resides.

I have now installed the new version on echem9. The headers of the new 
file are at
/usr/include/loki  (this should be used in environment variable LOKISRC)
while the library is at
/usr/lib           (this should be used in environment variable LOKILIB)

Please, download version 0.1.3 of Loki from sourceforge to your local 
computer if you do development there, and copy the source to some 
directory of your choice. The README does not give all information about 
installation though. So, go the the loki source directory and do a

make;make install

this will compile the lokilib and install it to the locations above.

Then set your LOKILIB and LOKISRC environment variable accordingly.

Make a new installation of BSUtilities and Quantity (get the most recent 
cvs versions with checkout, since some files have been added). Make a 
./configure for both packages and compile.

Do the same for EChem++ (I will upload the relevant changes in a couple 
of minutes). This should do, except for my Experiment test programs. I 
am still checking for a bug.

Hope all works
Bernd
