Hello mailinglist, thanks for all the support so far. Unfortunately I have a problem with compiling gawk now. The reason I want to compile gawk is that when I execute (system) (g)awk on my server and the foss-2015a pipeline is loaded, he uses the wrong library (it's a similar case as with wget):
$ gawk gawk: symbol lookup error: /tools/easybuild/software/libreadline/6.3-foss-2015a/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC So I decided to compile gawk via easybuild, using the file from the repository but with a different toolchain: gawk-4.0.2-goolf-1.4.10.eb => gawk-4.0.2-foss-2015a.eb The problem that I get is that when he runs configure, he ironically uses gawk again to create the Makefile and I end up with the same error as above. I really don't know how to tackle this problem. The same holds for awk. I mean a computing server without awk is pretty limited. How can I use awk and easybuild in parallel? I accidentally "solved" my issue with wget by using the same compiler as wget was compiled with. But I can't always adjust my toolchain (and recompile all the tools) to suit a system tool dependency. [...] configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile gawk: symbol lookup error: /tools/easybuild/software/libreadline/6.3-foss-2015a/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC config.status: error: could not create Makefile [...] Thanks for any help, Oliver
