That was helpfull. I have installed gcc 4.2.2 and had no problem on that. To test the my environment works correctly i am trying to compile version 0.9 and then i'll try the beta version which i need.
I had some problems with the recognition of the gmp version. The script wasn't able to determine the right version stating that mine was prior of 4.1.3 and had the cxx interface disbled, i have version 4.2.2. So i have deleted the test in the file ac_check_gmp.m4 and made it pass in any case, this was working with gcc 4.0.1 but now i get this error
checking for shared library run path origin... done checking how to link with libgmp... -L/opt/local/lib -lgmp checking how to link with libgmpxx... -lgmpxx -L/opt/local/lib -lgmp checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... yes <-- hacked test checking for mp_limb_t... yes checking size of mp_limb_t... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (mp_limb_t)
GMP is installed with a 32bit ABI and with --enable-cxx flag in /opt/ local I am using this configure script (gmp and gcc are installed in the / opt/local path) ./configure --prefix=/opt/julia --with-libgmpxx-prefix=/opt/local -- with-cxx=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2
I think i'll give up installing the library on mac os x, i can think where the error is, if in gmp, the compilers or the library
Here there is the original mail
I am having a problem while installing the library on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) on a Mac Intel. I tried the last beta and then tried the CVS version (last update done just 5-10 minutes ago [was 4 december]) since i need the jni libraries and there isn't such thing in 0.9.
I am trying to put everything in a specific path (/opt/julia), to do so I have manualy installed the GMP library with enabled the cxx interface with that prefix, and i am building the PPL with this configuration: ./configure --prefix=/opt/julia --with-libgmp-prefix=/opt/julia -- with-libgmpxx-prefix=/opt/julia
The result of the makefile is in the attached file
This looks like a compiler problem. Which version of GCC are you using? My recommendation is to use GCC 4.1.2 or later version. All the best,
