Re: "checking for cholmod_start in -lcholmod... no"

[Electronnix]

Hello Mike,

Thank you for answering.
In order to avoid cluttering this thread, I posted the full octave
dependency building and configure log as well as the bash script I used for
this task, on another website.
Here are the links:

http://www.cobrasov.com/CoBra%20Project/SuiteSparse_compiler
(this is the bash script)

http://www.cobrasov.com/CoBra%20Project/Octave_Dep_Build+Configure.log
(this is the log resulted from the script)

Basically this script compiles suitesparse and then creates 2 directories:
/usr/lib/suitesparse
/usr/include/suitesparse
The .a libraries are copied to /usr/lib/suitesparse and then converted to
.so libraries.
The headers are copied to /usr/include/suitesparse.

I had to create symlinks for libgfortran.a and libgfortranbegin.a in
/usr/lib pointing to these libraries which in my system are located in
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1/

Then the script builds GraphicsMagick in /opt/GraphicsMagick-1.3.7,
and FLTK, GLPK and QRUPDATE in /usr/local.

At the end is the octave configure command.

As I mentioned previously, I do have cholmod libraries in my system which
were installed the standard way from Debian packages. The command  "ldconfig
-p | grep cholmod" gives the following result:
=========================
        libcholmod.so.3.1.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcholmod.so.3.1.0
        libcholmod.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcholmod.so.1
=========================
but I expect octave to only look at and see the cholmod libraries that were
built from the suitesparse 3.4.0 compiled by my script. Am I too optimistic?
Anyway, I tried even deleting these libs from /usr/lib but the octave
configure gives the same message about cholmod_start not being found.

My script stops at the configure command because I tried to run make and it
runs fine, but the building process generated a huge amount of files and
when it reached about 700 MB it plugged up my ramdrive so I stopped it.
Anyway, the cholmod_start remains the only mystery in this affair.
