Thanks Ben and Iohannes, Not sure what my problem is now. I downloaded the gltt library and copied the files libgltt.so.0 and libgltt.so.0.0.0 (these are the files the rpm installed) to directories /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib . The configure script still can't seem to find gltt?? Any other ideas what the problem might be. Thanks. Jim
link the to match lib*.so like:
#!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/lib ln -s libgltt.so.0 libgltt.so
on Debian systems (i do not know the policies for other distributions) you should *not* install "private" libraries to /usr/lib/ (this is reserved for package-installations)
on the other hand, i think that the configure-script only searches the library in /usr/lib, and if it fails, it looks for a lib*.a (!!! static library) in (subdirectories of) <my_src_dir> (when you are installing from <my_src_dir>/gem-0.99/src/Gnu)
so maybe you should really link to /usr/lib/libgltt.so
well, i promise to repair the configure (although my personal edition looks even worse by now, due to "repairing"...)
