Package: libscotch-dev Version: 5.1.12b.dfsg-2+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I tried to link to the libraries under /usr/lib/parmetis-{int64,int32,long}/, but that failed under CMake with the following errror: make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/parmetis-int64/liparmetis.so', needed by 'cmTryCompileExec3172204297'. Schluss. Makefile:118: recipe for target 'cmTryCompileExec3172204297/fast' failed It turns out that all the following links are dangling: /usr/lib/parmetis-int32: insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.a -> libptscotchparmetis.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.so -> libptscotchparmetis.so /usr/lib/parmetis-int64: insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.a -> libptscotchparmetis.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.so -> libptscotchparmetis.so /usr/lib/parmetis-long: insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.a -> libptscotchparmetis.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 21 2013 libparmetis.so -> libptscotchparmetis.so The apparent fix is that the links should point to the corresponding libs in /usr/lib/scotch-{int32,int64,long} This bug is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=715112 and depends on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=71507 -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libscotch-dev depends on: ii libscotch-5.1 5.1.12b.dfsg-2+b1 ii mpi-default-dev 1.0.2+nmu2 ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 libscotch-dev recommends no packages. libscotch-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
