El Dudito,

on the Mandrake 8.0 Linux box I had/have a number of small
problems with the GSL 1.0 installation.

'make': In matrix (and cblas) I got error messages about use absolute
paths only while running libtool which I could resolve by running the
offending command by hand after changing -rpath to -path (the argument was
an absolute path anywys).

I am stumped though about the 'make install' problem I have now:

alexander@congo:cblas> make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alexander/Src/gsl-1.0/cblas'
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs =/home/alexander/local//lib
/bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libgslcblas.la
=/home/alexander/local//lib/libgslcblas.la
libtool: install: `=/home/alexander/local//lib' must be an absolute
directory name
Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.
make[1]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alexander/Src/gsl-1.0/cblas'
make: *** [install-am] Error 2


I tried to run it by hand 

alexander@congo:cblas> /bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install /usr/bin/install
-c libgslcblas.la /home/alexander/local/lib/libgslcblas.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libgslcblas.lai
/home/alexander/local/lib/libgslcblas.la
/usr/bin/install: .libs/libgslcblas.lai: No such file or directory

but the .libs/libgslcblas.lai is missing, and I could not figure out how
to creat it.


Any insight?

Thanks,
Alexander
