Hello, I have finally built OpenDX 4.1.0 from the sources on our IBM RS6000 running AIX 4.2, but the thing doesn't work although compilation didn't seem to have any problems. Loading samples with the menu or invoking with -execonly both resulted in geo10 ~% dx -uionly & [1] 40060 geo10 ~% Starting DX user interface geo10 ~% dx -execonly & [2] 41114 geo10 ~% Starting DX executive Could not load program /usr/local/dx/bin_ibm6000/dxexec Symbol __eprintf in /usr/local/lib/libGL.a is undefined Error was: Exec format error I have built Mesa-3.2.1 from the sources and it passed the checks without complaints, so what's going wrong here now?
The second problem concerns the make install: although it seemed to work, I got the following warnings: Library libdf.a/libcdf.a/libnetcdf.a not found. It's possible that you did not build it statically. Use --disable-libname to compile without it. Without this library, there will be problems when linking with libDX.a later I don't understand this, because the libraries are there, they are in the path, and they are not even links. I took the default installation of them, and I think that was to build them statically. I had set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/cdf/lib:/usr/local/hdf/lib:/usr/local/ttf/lib and even in my configure I had CC='xlc' CXX='xlC' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/cdf/include -I/usr/local/hdf/include -I/usr/local/ttf/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/cdf/lib -L/usr/local/hdf/lib -L/usr/local/ttf/lib' ./configure so I don't see any reason for this message. I don't know though if this may cause problems when running dx. I have spent several days now with installing all the graphics stuff, convert 5.2.2 and DX after having already tried to install the binary without success, and I'm getting kind of frustrated. If you have any advice, I will be most grateful. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Ruedas Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, J.W.Goethe University Frankfurt e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geophysik.uni-frankfurt.de/~ruedas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
