[ncl-install] ncargex cpex08 -clean post-install test fails

Wed Dec 3 09:49:15 MST 2014

Hi Mary,

I used locate on each of the “missing” libraries and found them all installed already.

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lXext              ---      locate finds it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lcairo             ---      locate finds it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lfontconfig        ---      locate finds it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpixman-1          ---      locate finds it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpixman-1.so.0

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lfreetype          ---      locate finds it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lexpat             ---      locate finds it in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lpng               ---      locate finds it in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0

Re:   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lz                 ---      locate finds it in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1

I tried changing the syslibdir variable in ncargf77 to   set syslibdir = “-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu”. I also ran ldconfig just to be safe. I then ran the test again but the same errors cropped up. See output below. Any thoughts?

Regards,

Al

Al,

This sounds like an issue with the way your libraries are either installed, or maybe the directory path is not quite right.

Use the "locate" command to search for the required libraries, for example:

   locate libXext

   locate libbz2

etc.

Also visit this link and read about how to install some of these external packages.

Hi,

I have downloaded a precompiled NCL binary (ncl_ncarg-6.2.1.Linux_Debian6.0_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz) and am attempting to install it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

The NCL post-install test worked fine, but I am having difficulty getting the NCAR graphics test (ncargex cpex08 –clean) to work (see below). I have changed the syslibdir variable in ncargf77 to ‘set syslibdir = "-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"’ which is the location of at least some of the supposedly missing libraries, but even though this change appears in the gfortran compile string, the test still fails. Perhaps the ld command is not aware of this changed setting?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Al
