Hi, math/octave does not build on -stable, since it needs a newer readline version, and the configure script fails (cd /usr/ports/math/octave && make will show you). So I installed a local version of readline (readline-4.3) and tried linking against it using LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. The configure script does not fail anymore (since CPPFLAGS has my readline's version include directory), but the program is still linked against the system's readline:
ldd src/octave | grep readline libreadline.so.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x2874e000) And leads to runtime failure: octave:1> help /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: src/octave: Undefined symbol "rl_get_screen_size" Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my readline's lib directory works, but I'd like to avoid it. So how can I force the linker to ignore /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 when linking? tks -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
