Hello,

I'm trying to work with an older version (0.2) now (just to practice). I installed everything and "make check" confirmed that everything was OK.

I took the inters1.cc file and replaced all include files with "ppl.hh". I also removed the print_constraints commands and namespace std. I tried to compile the code, but I get a huge amount of error messages saying 'undefined reference to...'. The compilation was started with

gcc inters1.cc -L/opt/ppl-0.2/lib -I/opt/ppl-0.2/include -lgmp

I think I do something stupid (as a beginner in using libraries), but I can't figure out what. Could you tell me how to use this library correctly in my code?

Dear Martin,

at a first glance, your command line lacks -lppl -lgmpxx. In fact, with -L/opt/ppl-0.2/lib you are only adding an element to the library search path, but you should also specify, with -lppl, that you request linking with the PPL library. For the same reason, you should also use -lgmpxx to link with the C++ interface of GMP. As a final note, using the g++ command instead of gcc is safer (even though for the command you quoted I believe it does not matter). All the best
