Well . . . what are you trying to configure, and what does 'config.log' say?

Also, which distro are you using? More information = more chance of correct solution.

The important thing here is, that you tell
which Linux, you are using ..
Like Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, Fedora 12, CentOS 5.x, etc.


And also please explain, why you are not installing
fftw3 with your "Package Manager". Or with # yum / apt-get .. ?

→ → fftw3-devel / libfftw3-dev / fftw-devel / libfftw3-devel
.. The fftw3 development package has different names
in different Linux's.)

Just guessing, you are trying to compile fftw3 for OpenMX ?

Hi,

Not urgent to me!

I suggest that you read 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way'.

If you actually provide some useful information, you'd probably get useful answers. Also, tacking your post on to a thread from 2004, isn't likely to get you many answers, and it's very rude to hijack someone elses thread.

And if you Googled for this error (fftw "cannot compute sizeof"), you'd have found the solution.
