Hi,
I am working on building octave-3.1.53 on RHEL5 Linux. I've installed
and compiled metis-4.0,
which compiled properly.
I downloaded SuiteSparse-3.2.0.tar.gz into /opt/SparseSuite.
Compiling, got an error building AMD:
make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/SuiteSparse/AMD'
cc -O3 -fexceptions -I../Include -I../../AMD/Include -I../../UFconfig
-o umfpack_di_demo umfpack_di_demo.c ../Lib/libumfpack.a
../../AMD/Lib/libamd.a -lblas -lgfortran -lgfortranbegin -lg2c -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2c
It appears that g2c is not supported on RHEL5.
Finally, 'configure' doesn't recognized the SuiteParse includes or
libraries.
My SuiteSparse tree is in upper case, while 'configure' is in lower case
(e.g.
[root at localhost SuiteSparse]# ls -l
