Hi all,
I am the one who started the discussions in the mail threads, having problems in installing PSPP in openSUSE 11. I have used openSUSE 11 64-bit as a guest OS of VMWare virtual machine,
and had lots of problems with it (I don't think it is necessarily the
problem of openSUSE, but it could be a combination of my computer and
openSUSE), and finally gave upon it. Now, I am using Unbuntu, and I finally installed PSPP successfully following Ben Pfaff's comment on using "./configure CFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline." Thanks, Ben.
The other thing was, I had to install -dev's to make things work. For example, the installation complained that I do not have libglade 2.6 or higher even though I did. After I installed libglade-dev, the installation could be completed without errors. I know. Readme must be mentioning this, and no, I did not read it :-)
Anyway, I thought my experience could be a little bit of help for those who are not very familiar with Linux and compiling source files like me.
Thank y'all who pitched their thoughts on this.
Jae
and PSPP installed successfully

Hi
I did some testing:
> /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
> skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
is just a warning I guess. It is because /usr/lib64 should be used if it is
available and the usr/lib file is skipped. Which is correct.
The problem is before with errors like:
src/libpspp/libpspp.a(src_libpspp_libpspp_a-hash.o): In function
'GSL_MIN_LDBL':
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_math.h:171: multiple definition of 'GSL_MIN_LDBL'
src/language/liblanguage.a(loop.0):/usr/include/gslgsl_math.h:171 first
defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [src/ui/terminal/pspp] Error 1
etc.
The messages, without the previous reported skipping messages, are the same
on the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of openSUSE 11.
I am not aware of an openSUSE 11 testing machine. But I can tell that the
problem wasn't there with openSUSE 10.3 32 bit version.
Hope this helps
CU

A workaround for that problem is given in the PSPP README:
* If you use GCC 4.3 or later to compile PSPP, along with any
version of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) released as of
this writing (June 2008), then you will need to specify the
-fgnu89-inline flag to the compiler on the "configure"
command line: "./configure CFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline".
I am working on a patch to detect the buggy GSL versions and
automatically apply the CFLAGS for it, but it is not in 0.6.0 (or
in the Git repository).

Hi Ben
Using command line: "./configure CFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline" works on openSUSE
11 32 bit and 64 bit.
Don't know how to tell users to read README. Noboddy, including myself, read
them. Despite I write readme's myself. :-)) Maybe something for the FAQ ? An
item "known problems" on the site?
Have fun.
