compile

2006-06-28 Thread Francesco Pietra
I already received (with thanks) useful guidelines how to compile but I 
realize that I have to clear my mind and perhaps also my computer to succeed.

First what 
./configure -linux 
requests:
---g77 and gcc found and accepted.
---Libraries are tested for existence in this order:
libacml.a libmkl.so libmkl_p3.a libatlas.a libblas.a
---Directory search for these libraries:

(NONE FOUND BY CONFIGURE)
---Parallelization (I know that mpich is needed)

This is a computational software mainly used  on aix cray sgi sun, therefore 
the generic -linux; however, configure understands that my machine is 
parallel and that linux is installed, if the optional -linux is not given)

I understand that I have to install the requested mathematical libraries from
http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
http://www.netlib.org/blas/
OK? At any event, because of my inexperience with such affairs (and this 
should be a good lesson for the future) I do not understand what actually to 
download and install in relation to the request of libraries by configure.

mpich should be in order for shared-memory local usage.

I realize I am asking much. Profound thanks

libacml.a is the AMD Core Maths Library, a proprietary maths library

libmkl.so and libmkl_p3.so are the Intel Math Kernel Library - see 
above, but read Intel instead of AMD


libatlas.a is from the atlas3-base-dev package

libblas.a is from the atlas3-base-dev or refblas3-dev packages (for the 
Atlas version, your directory search must include /use/lib/atlas/)


As per usual, there is no reason to download any tarballs and break 
package management, unless you want to use one of the proprietary versions.

 libatlas.a is from the atlas3-base-dev package

#aptitude install atlas3-base-dev

/usr/lib/libatlas.a   /usr/lib/libatlas.so

whereis libblas.a
libblas.a:

therefore, see below


 libblas.a is from the atlas3-base-dev or refblas3-dev packages
#aptitude install refblas3-dev

whereis libblas.a
/usr/lib/libblas.so  /usr/lib/libblas.a

 (for the 
 Atlas version, your directory search must include /use/lib/atlas/)

do you mean that, as now located, these libraries are not seen by configure 
searching:
  ---Libraries are tested for existence in this order:
  libacml.a libmkl.so libmkl_p3.a libatlas.a libblas.a
? and that I should do something else?

Apart from this, I was confused by, a couple of days ago:
#apt-file update
#apt-file search libatlas.a
atlas3-base-dev
while, after having installed atlas3-headers and mpich-shmem-bin, the above 
search command returns nothing (the same for libblas.a), and therefore my 
question that I had already posed. Even now after having installed the above 
packages.

 As per usual, there is no reason to download any tarballs and break
 package management, unless you want to use one of the proprietary versions.

Because apt-file search does not work in my hands (although apt-file is 
installed (as from #aptitude in admin main), I can not verify whether the 
last lacking piece of the cacke (libacml.a) is available from Debian. Perusal 
on internet 
(http://seldon.it.northwestern.edu/sscc/acmldoc/Linking_002fLinux.html) seems 
to indicated that the Linux 64-bit g77 version of ACML should be installed in 
the default directory, /opt/acml3.1.0/gnu64. Very likely I misunderstang but, 
anyway, I have installed g77 from Debian. Thanks for this clarification.

gnome difficulties

2006-06-28 Thread edwardsa
A few days ago the gnome panel and nautilus lost significant 
functionality. I'm running AMD64 debian. When I log in, the gnome pane 
appears, but does not become populated with icons. It blinks several 
times and then I get a variety of similar behaviors. Either:


1. I get a message the nautilus has died and the gnome-panel has died
2. I get a message the the gnome-settings-daemon has tried to start too 
many times


After I click close on each of the buttons, the panel does become 
populated with icons, but I have no control over the theme.


I have started filing a bug report with gnome, but the behavior on crash 
is complicated enough that I have had to start over a couple of times. 
I'm wondering whether Debian plays a role.

xmgrace partly broken under debian

2006-06-28 Thread edwardsa
I'm running amd64 debian. Xmgrace does not allow me to enter text in the 
Filter area of the Read sets window. This is true under both KDE and 
gnome. Because I have not updated xmgrace in a very long time, and 
because it has been working well for as long as I have had it (many 
years), this seems to be a Debian issue.

dselect wants to remove stuff that I don't want it to remove!

2006-06-28 Thread Greg Grotsky
Help. I ran deselect and used SELECT to set ssh to install and
when I selected INSTALL it told me that it wanted to REMOVE several
packages that I need and did not want to uninstall. When I
canceled the INSTALL and went back to SELECT to look at the packages it
said it was going to remove they were labeled as ***, three stars like:
Don't remove What's going on here? Anyone know?

Thanks,
-Greg
