Package: libhypre-dev Version: 2.14.0-3 Followup-For: Bug #902102 The missing external library (superlu) is a simple bug that can be fixed.
The other, internal library is more subtle. hypre is designed as a monolithic library. Original Debian developers chose to split it into components, hence the separate lib_HYPRE_<component> libraries The problem is that there are some circular dependencies. parcsr_ls depends on parcsr_mv, and parcsr_mv depends on parcsr_ls. One needs to be built before the other. At the moment parcsr_mv is built first and so is not explicitly linked at build time to parcsr_ls. parcsr_ls gets the explicit link to parcsr_mv. If you try to link parcsr_mv to parcsr_ls then there is a make error, No rule to make target '../parcsr_ls/libHYPRE_parcsr_ls.so', needed by 'libHYPRE_parcsr_mv.so'. Stop. Similar for libHYPRE_mli (circular dependency with libHYPRE_FEI) Is there a better way to handle the circular dependency? Can the missing link be added afterwards (after both libraries have been compiled)? Should we restore upstream's monolithic library?
