gsl-1.3 builds okay, but fails to install on AIX.

gsl-1.3 builds okay, but fails to install on AIX.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9627 bytes --]

I'm using an IBM RS/6000 7025 F50 with 4x332 MHz, 1 Gb of RAM and
IBM's xlc compiler (version 6.0). The operating system is the latest
(AIX 5.2).

I built gsl-1.3 okay, but it fails when trying to do make check,
saying a file has the wrong extenstion. 

When it came to installing it, it fails too. 

Note, xlc is the reccomended ANSI compiler, although cc is the same
compiler, just with different switches - cc accepts K+R code, xlc does
not. 

* ANSI C compiler, UNIX header files
xlc:    use        = DEFLT
        crt        = /lib/crt0.o
        mcrt       = /lib/mcrt0.o
        gcrt       = /lib/gcrt0.o
        libraries  = -L/usr/lpp/xlopt,-lxlopt,-lc
        proflibs   = -L/lib/profiled,-L/usr/lib/profiled
        options    = -qansialias


The only switches I configured with were -O2 and -arch=604, to build
for my particular architecture. 

Note, I don't fully understand why the there are messages like
'1506-755 (W) The -a option is not supported in this release'. Seems a
bit odd I must admit.

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LIBPATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - use the `-Wl,-bnolibpath -Wl,-blibpath:LIBDIR:/usr/lib:/lib'
linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

This is now solved. 

I now realise what this warning was - the option -arch=604 should have
been -qarch=604. Hence the compiler see the -a and thought it was an
option, which it was not supposed to be. Most options start with q on
the AIX compiler. 

The linker however did accept the erroneous -a option and screwed
things up with it. After correcting that option and adding -lm,
gsl-1.3 now passes tests and installs properly. 

I say 'passes tests' as its not too easy unless one stares at the
screen for ages, to see if there are any obvious failures. Would it
not be more sensible to use the autoconf/automake method of testing,
so one gets a nice summary at the end, like this, which I get from one
of my packages. 

======================
All 82 tests passed
(7 tests were not run)

You can always redirect the output to a file and inspect that
afterwards, i.e. using search facilities of less or your editor...

The standard method is used, but on a per-directory basis -- if it
reaches the end and there is no error message then all the tests have
passed.   As Jochen says, it's best to redirect the output to a file.
