Hello,

I wanted to install the Grace data plotting tool onto my PC with Red Hat 9.
IThe rpm has a dependency in the file libpdf.so.1.

For that I needed to install PDFlib..

So I downloaded the PDFlib-Lite-5.0.2-Unix-src.tar.gz source from pdflib.com;

configured the source using:

./configure --enable-shared-PKGS --enable-cxx

The result was:
For your convenience, here's a summary of configure's results:

Support for shared libraries: yes
C++ language binding for PDFlib: yes
Java language binding for PDFlib: yes
Perl language binding for PDFlib: yes
Python language binding for PDFlib: yes
Tcl language binding for PDFlib: yes
PHP language binding for PDFlib: no, see bind/pdflib/php/readme.txt
PDF import library (PDI): no

The make command used next gives errors and I am stuck !!

Can anyone help me to correctly compile the source..

the missing libpdf is probably the tip of the iceberg and once you get it compiled, other missing libs may appear, take a look at this it will save you a lot of "dependency hell" headaches:
