Re: PSPP Install problem - configured successfully but can't make...

[Brad Quillin]

You guys are dealing with the problem I am having, only I am one step behind. 
When I began configuring the software, I had to add this lib, or update that 
on, install this dependent file, etc. But now I am having a problem with a file 
that is already installed. This is the error message I get:

checking for main in -lgslcblas... no
configure: error: You must install libgslcblas

I have checked, the lib is installed, and the path to it is in my ld.so.conf file. I can't figure out how to make the configure file see it. 

I am also running SuSE 11, 64 bit.


Thanks,

Brad

You are right.  PSPP's gui uses the Gtk+ libraries, since it's a GNU
project like Gnome.  So it will have a gnomish look and feel to it.
But it should work equally well with both gnome and kde (or without
either of them).  However it was tested with gnome applications so you
may find that interaction with kde is suboptimal.  For example I
believe kde has its own spreadsheet application, and I don't know if
cut and paste to/from kde's spreadsheet will work.
