Hi Mauro: I have now produced a package of ifeffit 1.2.11b. It is in Debian unstable and available for Ubuntu intrepid and jaunty in my repository deb http://debian-xray.iit.edu intrepid main contrib non-free deb http://debian-xray.iit.edu jaunty main contrib non-free The version for jaunty will be replaced by the ubuntu version once it propagates into the archives. I have not built it for hardy but will if anyone has a need for it. Cheers, Carlo On Wed, 12 Nov 2008, Mauro Rovezzi wrote:
Dear all,
I decided to upgrade ifeffit-1.2.11 on my Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) desktop machine. Well, up to now I have always worked with PGPLOT & Ifeffit binaries from Carlo that are just working fine but seen that they are still not ready for the new version I decided to build them by source.
First of all let me say that Ifeffit builds fine if I use the "pgplot5" binary package, BUT, as stated by Matt in the README.PGPLOT, Ifeffit will compile without plotting support in this case.
So the only way is to build also PGPLOT from source. Unfortunately the experience has failed both with the "PGPLOT_install" script and following steps in the "install-unix.txt".
I have tried many possibilities but the make process interrupts on the drivers compilations. Seen that following "install-unix.txt" gives the same error (but on another driver!) of "PGPLOT_install", let's focus on this last procedure to try debugging the situation:
$sudo ./PGPLOT_install ... [all fine until the PGPLOT make] [long list of errors + warnings like:] ... /home/mauro/local/ifeffit-1.2.11/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv_iff.c:4445: error: ‘XWdev’ has no member named ‘gc’ ... make: *** [xwdriv_iff.o] Error 1 ... [then the final error due to the bad compilation] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [pgdemo1] Error 1
OK, I have described more or less the situation but I would not flood the list with technical mails, so if someone would help me with this issue we can continue in private and then send just the solution to the list.
Anyway, the problem is not "urgent" seen that I can work with the 1.2.10 binary installation.
Have a nice day! Mauro
