I have a couple of questions:
I'm attempting to compile a program on 3.0.3 or 4.0 (both are available)
called Magic. It is a digital design program VLSI or something like that
from ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/magic. I dies on the compile when
it can't find various libraries it has:
-lX11 -lbsd -lm
But it won't find the /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.? if I don't -L/usr/X11R6/lib
explicitly. When I run ldconfig -p it has it in there (as ELF). Then
later on in the compile it won't find /lib/libm.a! There is no /lib/libm.a
but there is a libm.so! Isn't the .a for a.out and .so for ELF? Can
I force this whole package to be compiled in ELF? It's attempting to, but
it and I are confused!
My other question is. Is there a source for answers to these questions?
I rather not bug people. Compiling-HOWTO? :)
Thanks,
Scott Serr
