PSPP Install problem - configured successfully but can't make...

[Jae Cha]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install PSPP in openSUSE 64-bit 11.0.  After many errors and installing various libraries (GTK+, readline, ncurses, etc.), I finally could have PSPP "configured successully."  However, when I tried to "make," I am getting errors with messages as follows:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libdl.so when searching for -ldl

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jaecha/Install/pspp-0.6.0'

As a beginner of Linux, I naively believed that everything would be okay once the package was configured successfully.  Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Hah!

Since no one more knowledgable has answered, I'll give it a try:

It looks like the linker is finding the wrong libraries, or maybe
finding libs in directories different from those found by configure.

Do you have any other copies of these libraries? For example, do you have
multiple copies of libdl.a? It looks like your machine is trying to link
to the wrong ones.

I concurr with Jason.   It looks to me like a fundamental problem with
the way your compiler/linker/libraries have been set up.  However, as
I don't use SuSE myself I can't offer any specific details.

I suggest that you try one of the OpenSuSE forums.

[Jae Cha]

Thank you, John and Jason, for your inputs.

I was thinking in the same way. I mean, there seems to be some problems with my compiling/linking, something like it.  Since I am not very familiar with Linux and c compiling yet, I will have to work on it more.

 

By the way, I was getting an impression that PSPP is more like gnome than kde according to many libraries it requires.  Does it any matter or gnome will make things easier?  Currently, I am using kde.

 

Thanks again.

You are right.  PSPP's gui uses the Gtk+ libraries, since it's a GNU
project like Gnome.  So it will have a gnomish look and feel to it.
But it should work equally well with both gnome and kde (or without
either of them).  However it was tested with gnome applications so you
may find that interaction with kde is suboptimal.  For example I
believe kde has its own spreadsheet application, and I don't know if
cut and paste to/from kde's spreadsheet will work.

I don't use GNOME or KDE, and PSPPIRE (the PSPP GUI) works fine
for me.

You guys are dealing with the problem I am having, only I am one step behind. When I began configuring the software, I had to add this lib, or update that on, install this dependent file, etc. But now I am having a problem with a file that is already installed. This is the error message I get:

checking for main in -lgslcblas... no
configure: error: You must install libgslcblas

I have checked, the lib is installed, and the path to it is in my ld.so.conf file. I can't figure out how to make the configure file see it.

I am also running SuSE 11, 64 bit.


Thanks,

Brad

Thank y'all.

 

By the way, which linux distro are you using?  Yesterday, I tried to install PSPP in Ubuntu (since it was not successful in openSUSE), and it was not very successful either...

Only the PSPP 0.4.0 configure script will ever emit that
message.  Please try PSPP 0.6.0, instead, since it is the most
recently released version.

I use Slackware and OpenBSD, though I haven't tried the GUI with BSD.
