Re: [Bug-apl] Incorrect library path when installed in non-default location

[Elias Mårtenson]

You are right. The system preferences file has not been properly updated with the correct --prefix setting from the configure script:

This is from the file /home/emartenson/src/apl/dist/etc/gnu-apl.d/preferences:

  LIBREF-3 /usr/local/lib/apl/wslib3

  LIBREF-4 /usr/local/lib/apl/wslib4

  LIBREF-5 /usr/local/lib/apl/wslib5

Elias

Hi Elias,

I would still need the apl -l 37 output to see what is happening.

BTW the second column in )LIBS shows where the path comes from.
If it shows PSYS (like you said below) then it comes from the system's
preference file. The question is then: which one? This is what apl -l 37
will tell us.

Actually I don't have any APL binary installed anywhere else.

Hi Elias,

)LIBS is currently computed from the location of the running apl binary.
This is sometimes convenient and sometimes not.

A secure way of handling this is to have the paths in the user's preferences file.

I believe that some of the libs (wslib3, 4, and 5) are installed in the location
where you expect them and that the system's preferences file reflect those
locations.

Your output below was most likely created by a stale apl binary in /usr/local/bin.

When I build and install GNU APL, I specify --prefix=/home/elias/src/apl/dist. I then expect the PSYS to be /home/elias/src/apl/dist/lib/apl/wslib[0-9].

Now, typing )LIBS at the prompt gives me: /usr/local/lib/apl/wslib[0-9]. This is not correct, is it?
