Re: Difficulties with the configure script under SGI Irix

[Philippe Schaffnit]

Hi!

Thanks a lot for the hint (BTW, this it *really* something I could have
known myself...).

This turns to be somewhat messy, and I haven't got down to the bottom of
it (should I?): it seems that for these 'gcc calls' the
'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is not honoured! (is it a problem with the configure
script, my gcc, or something else?): the trick to get me past configure
(the build is still underway, so I'm not completely out of the woods
yet...) was to specify everything in my 'CC' environment variable (i.e.:
'setenv CC "gcc -B /USER/philippe/Irix/LibTool/lib
-I/USER/philippe/Irix/LibTool/include -B /USER/philippe/Irix/Gmp/lib
-I/USER/philippe/Irix/Gmp/include"'). Messy, but it seems to work...

Thanks a lot for the hint!
