Greetings,
I installed GNU APL on raw LinuxMint 16 and 17 and came up with the following differences from what is stated in the README-1-prerequisits file. Note that since LinuxMint is built on to of Ubuntu, Ubuntu installs should be the same.
1. Although ./configure worked out-of-the-box without warnings, APL did not build. It failed. In order to get it to build, I had to install the following packages (which were not checked/verified by the configure script, but are _required_):
texinfo
g++
libsqlite3-dev
(should probably install sqlite3 too)
Note that requiring sqlite3-dev is a surprise.
2. The list of suggested packages given in README-1-prerequisits is incorrect or out-of-date. It should be:
liblapack-dev
libreadline-dev (or libreadline6-dev) - there is no libreadline5-dev
libncurses5-dev - there is no ncurses-dev
libpq-dev (if PostgreSQL support is desired)
3. I noticed that the system can't find library execinfo. Where is that? (What package might that be in? I can't find it.)
Thanks.
Blake
