Hi. I know this is not entirely part of BLFS, but I want to install a dependency of kdegraphics, namely Gocr, which requires netpbm.
Well, in fact, it is more libpnm which is required. The problem is, netpbm claims to put everything in libnetpbm, but libgocr continues to search for libpnm : checking for pnm.h... yes checking for pnm_readpaminit in -lpnm... no checking for pnm_init in -lpnm... no configure: error: Cannot find PNM library I don't know what to do : there were several messages on Google, but no answer. config.log gives this : configure:6694: checking for pnm_readpaminit in -lpnm configure:6721: gcc -o conftest -O3 -march=athlon-xp -L$/usr/local/netpbm/lib -DPACKAGE_MODULES_DIR=/usr/lib/libgocr -DPACKAGE_MODULES_DIR=/usr/lib/libgocr -I/usr/include/netpbm -I/usr/local/netpbm/include conftest.c -lpnm >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpnm collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:6724: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 6702 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char pnm_readpaminit (); int main () { pnm_readpaminit (); ; return 0; } configure:6741: result: no configure:6747: checking for pnm_init in -lpnm configure:6774: gcc -o conftest -O3 -march=athlon-xp -L$/usr/local/netpbm/lib -DPACKAGE_MODULES_DIR=/usr/lib/libgocr -DPACKAGE_MODULES_DIR=/usr/lib/libgocr -I/usr/include/netpbm -I/usr/local/netpbm/include conftest.c -lpnm >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpnm collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:6777: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 6755 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char pnm_init (); int main () { pnm_init (); ; return 0; } configure:6794: result: no configure:6801: error: Cannot find PNM library Can someone provide help ? \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS http://nicolas.francois.free.fr A TRUE Klingon programmer does NOT comment his code -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
