I googled libg2c and came up with the following exchange on the debian-mentors list: ========================================================== Mikael Hedin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I have a autoconf test that fails if i don't give -lg2c as extra link > flags. Without g2c there are undefined references to e_wsfe, z_abs, > c_sqrt, etc. Is not g2c an internal gcc thing? That sounds like things generated by a FORTRAN compiler like g77. In the same way that C functions like printf(), abs(), and sqrt() aren't implemented directly in the compiler (you need to link with -lc [always added implicitly by *cc] and -lm), you need an external library to get the FORTRAN compatibility functions. Conventionally these are provided in libraries libF77.a and libI77.a, but g77 seems to provide a libg2c.a buried under /usr/lib/gcc-lib. If you don't have libg2c.a, it seems to be included in the g77 (or g77-2.95) package. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting. Politicking should be illegal." -- Abra Mitchell ========================================================== So it seems that you need to have the gcc g77 fortran compiler modules installed for your application. Suse does not have the g77 package - the fortran compiler is gcc42-fortran (compiler and support files) which is not installed by default. Try installing it and have another go. If that doesn't work, try libgfortran42. Hope this helps.
