#20 Prolem Installing SBML Ode Solver on Mac

[Eva]

Hi all,

I am trying to install SBML_odeSolver-1.6.0 on a Mac OSX 10.4.10.

I already installed the libraries:

Sundials 2.1.1 in:

/Users/eva/Desktop/Code/sundials/lib

and libSBML 2.3.5 in:

/Users/eva/Desktop/LibSBML

I tried to configure the SBML ODE Solver by:

./configure --with-libsbml="/Users/eva/Desktop/LibSBML"
--with-sundials="/Users/eva/Desktop/Code/sundials/lib"

But it does not find my SBML Library. Here is the output:

configure: error: Can not link to SBML Library:
Please, make sure to use libSBML version >= 2.3.2

Someone can please help me?

Thanks,

Eva.

I believe the error message is misinformation here; it probably can't continue because it can't find the other required library i.e. libxerces-c. This appears to still be the case on OS X 10.6.8 in Feb 2012, even when libexpat is installed and requested at the configure stage.
