Re: [infomap-nlp-users] Problem with installing Infomap - DBM libraries not found

[Bertram, A. <ber...@um...>]

Hi Maria,

It looks like your problem is that you're using Slackware.  Which isn't in and of itself a bad thing, but it doesn't provide the headers you need in its gdbm package, and it doesn't provide them in a gdbm-devel package like other distributions do.  You do have a few options available though.

Option 1) Find a slackware package that supplies the libgdbm-compat library and ndbm.h header
Option 2) Find an rpm package that supplies the above, and maybe you'll need to find a matching gdbm package as well, but you'd use rpm2targz to make a slackware compatible package from it
Option 3) Recompile gdbm on your own, and when you do so, run "make install-compat" as described in gdbm's README

Cheers,

Albert

Subject: [infomap-nlp-users] Problem with installing Infomap - DBM libraries    not found

Hello,

I am trying to install the Infomap NLP software, which I downloaded from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=99109
but I have problems.
I am using Slackware.

After I ran ./configure, I got the following message:
configure: WARNING: configure could not find all of the necessary DBM functions.
(dbm_open, dbm_close, dbm_fetch, dbm_store). This probably
means that configure could not find your DBM library, or
that you do not have a DBM library installed. (See above
output for the results of library checks.) Please install
a DBM-compatible library (such as GNU DBM).

I have tried several things to solve the problem (to make configure
find the necessary DBM functions/libraries), and I am listing what I
have done below. Unfortunately, I still get the same error message,
when I run ./configure.

After I run 'set', I get:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
which looks Ok.

After I type: find / | grep -i dbm
I got lots of matches, among other:
/var/log/packages/gdbm-1.8.3-i486-4
/var/log/scripts/gdbm-1.8.3-i486-4
/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0

which means that I have gdbm already installed.

I have added the paths of the dbm libraries in my PATH in the
.bash_profile file (not sure whether it was necessary, but wouldn't
hurt, I guess). Now the PATH variable looks like this:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/gemm/my_programs/jdk1.6.0._07/:/var/log/packages/gdbm-1.8.3-i486-4/:/var/log/scripts/gdbm-1.8.3-i486-4/:/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0/:/usr/lib/

I have also tried:
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib
and
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include

What should I do? Do I have to change something in the configure script?
Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Maria Tchalakova
