Hello,
I'm new to the AST software archive and perhaps I am using things
improperly, but as best as I understand the instructions at
http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/ , I should be able to use the
"package" script in the INIT package to retrieve and install other AST
packages, though it's also possible to retrieve and install at least some of
them manually.
But when I retrieve and install the INIT package (it goes without saying
(I hope) that this is not one of the packages that needs the INIT package in
order to install it) and then run the "package setup" script, it complains that
it cannot find libast.so. I thought I just needed to add it to my LIBPATH, but
it turns out I cannot find it either. I can find AST versions of several
common Unix utilities within the directory structure resulting from installing
the INIT package, and I guess the 'package' script uses them, but I found no
libast* anyplace.
I remedied this by manually downloading and installing ast-open (I got all
kinds of stuff), but shouldn't this be unnecessary? I would think that the INIT
package should include libast.so and whatever other dependencies are needed for
the 'package' script to run.
Yours,
George Reimer
