Hello easybuilders, I would like to poll on your collective knowledge, this might be something trivial.
I try to build target "GCC-4.6.3.eb" on macosx, which now breaks with the following error: [...] ERROR: EasyBuild encountered an exception (at easybuild/main.py:1010 in build_and_install_software): autoBuild Failed (last 300 chars): hecking for recent GMP... yes checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp... no configure: error: libgmp not found or uses a different ABI. Please read the INSTALL file -- see "In case of problem". make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-mpfr] Error 1 make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 I assume that the cause is, that the configure/build step for mpfr does not contain the parameter --with-gmp <foobar>, eg. as it should and described here: http://solarianprogrammer.com/2011/12/01/compiling-gcc-4-6-2-on-mac-osx-lion/ *therefor the system gmp is being picked and the above error triggered* (??) When we look at the -ld output, the gcc.py _which should provide that_ *is* being read: == 2012-12-28 20:19:03,842 main.main INFO Successfully obtained EB_GCC class instance from easybuild.easyblocks.gcc This makes me think that something else is going on; a little be further we see: == 2012-12-28 20:39:19,325 main.fileTools INFO cmd " ../configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto --enable-lto --enable-checking=release --enable-cxx --disable-multilib -- Is there any reason for the --with-mgp parameter not to be available at that step? Can I increase somehow verbosity to understand better what is going on? ps. I am familiar with the GCC building procedure, at least as it used to be for some years, since I've been using it in the past as a means to capture the notorious SIG11 faults. thanks for any potential answer, along with the seasonal wishes, Fotis
