[Ifeffit] linking problems

[mauro at rulp.org]

Carlo,

I have installed the "unstable" Debian distribution on my notebook but
ifeffit - debian package - doesn't work. I think there are problems with
libraries and I have tried many times linking ifeffit properly but it still
doesn't work.

Last week I had the same problem on my "testing" machine with source code,
but I fixed it simply recompiling pgplot library. I have already tried to do
the same thing on my notebook but it doesn't work.

Follow as much as possible information about my system, if you have an idea
let me know, please.

At the end, maybe problems with bugs in libc6? This is my installed version:

mac4npd2:~# dpkg -l | grep libc6
ii  libc6          2.3.2.ds1-13   GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  libc6-dev      2.3.2.ds1-13   GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea
ii  libgpmg1       1.19.6-12.1    General Purpose Mouse Library [libc6]

I know 2.3.2.ds1-10 has a bug but ds1-13 is fixed.

Thanks,
m
