GiNaC does not build due to a probable cln error

[enrico.franchi@…]

GiNaC does not compile. cln installs cleanly, but the ginac configure script has problems. If I just sudo port install ginac I have an error since it does not find the correct version of cln

So I tried to do sudo -s and then port install ginac. And this also failed.

Then I tried to manually run CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --infodir=/opt/local/share/info

(and also ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --infodir=/opt/local/share/info --with-cln-prefix=/opt/local)

and it fails, but with a different error.

In fact the test program gives bus error (but this seems a cln issue, however cln gave no error of any sort). Now I'm trying to manually build ginac, but I'm not really sure it will work (in fact I don't see why the cln test fails badly).

As expecter the make fails when it comes to linkng with cln

I suspect that this is really an upstream bug with cln. It probably does not recognize the OS X/Intel platform at all and just falls over.

I do not have access to an Intel mac and won't for at least a month. In the meantime, you might ask the cln developer directly if he has a patch. I'd be happy to apply it. Otherwise, progress migh be slow.

Yes you are right.

It's a cln bug I compiled "manually" cln 1.1.11 from sources and when I make check it segfaults. It seems that if I have to develope with cln or ginac I have to stick with my pbG4.

I thought the +test meant that it did make check (even if it seemed a bit too quick to make a make check).

Now I'm trying 1.1.10. Don't think it will work, but it is worth trying.

cln 1.1.13 and ginac 1.3.4 build clean on Intel. Closing.

Thank you, Mark, for testing this out intel.
