problem installing fortran77 on suse11

I'm sorry but at this point I'm completely lost. It's difficult to follow you while doing different installations on different machines!

Regarding the "guile-config is broken", take in mind that if you have guile-devel installed, you must have the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/guile-1.8.pc which should be invoked by the configure script to correctly set up the necessary flag for the compilers. Check it out. Mine is the following:

Code:

$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/guile-1.8.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include
datarootdir=${prefix}/share
datadir=/usr/share

sitedir=/usr/share/guile/site
libguileinterface=19:0:2

Name: GNU Guile
Description: GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extension
Version: 1.8.5
Libs: -L${libdir} -lguile   -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl
Cflags: -I${includedir}  -pthread

Hi minaesm,
just out of curiosity I tried to install mpb on my OpenSuse 11.1 and it resulted in a straightforward installation. Here is my step:

1) Pre-requisites: using Yast Software Manager I installed the following packages:

Code:

     blas
     libblas3
     lapack
     liblapack3
     fftw
     fftw-devel
     guile
     guile-devel

2) Pre-requisites: I installed libctl from source in /usr/local:

Code:

# tar zxvf libctl-3.0.3.tar.gz -C /usr/local
# cd /usr/local/libctl-3.0.3
# export F77=gfortran
# export CC=gcc
# ./configure
# make
# make check
# make install

3) mpb installation:

Code:

# tar zxvf mpb-1.4.2.tar.gz
# cd mpb-1.4.2
# export F77=gfortran
# export CC=gcc
# ./configure --prefix=/home/colucix/mpb-1.4.2
# make
# make check
**********************************************************
                   MPB PASSED all tests.
**********************************************************
# make install

I hope this helps a little.

ok, i checked it ,though after :
rpm -q guile_devel ,the coammand is " guile-devel-1.8.4-22.1",
it says that it's installed but there is no guile file in the pkgconfig . i've installed all of the prerequisites as you said , but again because of guile problem i can't install libctl .

should i install guile manually from the source ? may be it will work ?

Nope. This is the thing to avoid, accordingly to the installation guide of libctl. To me you have simply a broken guile-devel package. To verify the integrity of the package you can do

Code:

rpm -V guile-devel

In any case, try to uninstall and reinstall it using Yast Software manager and check the presence of /usr/lib/pkgconfig/guile-1.8.pc again. I feel that once you have solved the guile problem, the installation will be straightforward to the end.

hi and tahnks for your great helps . at last i could do it with your helps . thnks for them all

minaesm · 03-01-2009, 06:34 AM

how can i find in UBUNTU where the package e.g. HDF5 is installed ?

colucix · 03-01-2009, 10:45 AM

Hi minaesm, you will never stop to surprise me! Ubuntu now!

Unfortunately, I'm not so experienced with ubuntu. I think the command to list the content of a package is

Code:

dpkg -c package-name

but I'm not sure. I suggest to start new threads for new questions which are not related to this thread title anymore (installing fortran on suse). In this way your questions will have more visibility to all LQ members.

Cheers.
