http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Installation#Paths_for_Configuring What happens when you run configure after you run this?: setenv LDFLAGS "-L/home/cstevens/installers/hdf5-1.6.5/hdf5/lib" Best Regards, Matt On Mon, 23 Oct 2006, Dr Chris Stevens wrote:
Dear list members, I'm trying to install meep and keep running into the same problem. During the configure step I get the following error: WARNING: Couldn't find the HDF5 library!! Switching to --without-hdf5. I have in fact installed the HDF5 library by running the installer from the hdf5 website for linux (I am running suse10.0) At the end of the HDF5 install I get the following cryptic message:Libraries have been installed in: /home/cstevens/installers/hdf5-1.6.5/hdf5/lib If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.I do not have a clue what do with this information - how can I tell the meep configure command where the hdf5 libraries are - I've added the location to /etc/ld.so.conf but nothing has changed. I haven't a clue how I should use libtool to my advantage here but as I've never really instaleld from sources before it's probably my lack of knowledge here. Can anyone help me out with a pointer of how to get over this hurdle ? best regards Chris
