errors with installing from source about msmc

[stschiff]

Hi, is there a reason you use gcc and not dmd?
with dmd it should be just like in the Makefile... not with all these flags.

It seems it doesn't find Phobos, are you sure you have all the paths set up correctly?

I am installing from source on a Linux cluster and keep running into errors.

I installed DMD as advised, changed dmd.conf to reflect location of phobos libraries, and changed the makefile to reflection location of GSL libraries.

The error I get is:

gcc build/msmc.o -o build/msmc -m64 -L/mnt/lustre/home/sonal.singhal1/bin/dmd2/linux/lib64 -Xlinker --export-dynamic /mnt/lustre/home/sonal.singhal1/bin/lib/libgsl.a /mnt/lustre/home/sonal.singhal1/bin/lib/libgslcblas.a -l:libphobos2.a -lpthread -lm -lrt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l:libphobos2.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1
Any thoughts?

I would use the pre-compiled binaries, but they link to much newer versions of header files than what I have...

Best,

I used dmd, but that was the error reported as such. Not sure why?

And yes, I do think I have the paths all set up correctly. My network admin tried to install it too, and he failed as well. One thing that might be relevant is that I am trying to compile on a server, so I don't have root permissions.

Luckily, I was able to get a working executable from a colleague, so I am moving forward, but this error might pop up for other users.

OK, good that you can work now. This doesn't seem to be an error related to the code itself. It clearly says that it can't find phobos... hmm.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know.
