I rebuilt my Debian sarge system last june from the installation image and the network. It is one of the most stable and healthy-looking installations I have ever had. I recently tried to install an emulator for the PIC microcontrollers which needs a number of libraries in order to build. My last impediment to a successful build appears to be the lack of the libraries mentioned below and I am trying to figure out how to either fix what is broken or add the libraries I need. I have an open mind as to whether the system is broken because other software compiles just fine and I didn't do anything special at all when building the system. I just installed the base operating system and then the packages I wanted after that. Except for this installation, the system in question is like the Energizer Bunny and just keeps going and going.:-)
If anybody can tell me what to look at next, I would appreciate it because I am running out of things to try and I don't really think a rebuild of a 6-month-old system that hasn't had any catastrophes since the rebuild is the answer, yet. ------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 19:41:00 CST Subject: Re: [gnupic] popt and gpsim-0.21.11 CLI on Debian On 12/20/05, Martin McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "Scott Dattalo" writes: > >On Mon, 2005-12-19 at 22:13 -0600, Mark Rages wrote: > > >> Just a guess: You need to install libdl-dev and libpthread-dev. > > > >I'd agree. > > In looking at the Debian packages, I did not find a package > specificly named libdl-dev but there was one called libdlm-dev. > Likewise, there wasn't a libpthread-dev but > > libopenthreads-dev > libopenthreads-dev - Object-Oriented (OO) thread interface for C++ programmer s, > > This library is intended to provide a minimal & complete Object-Oriented > (OO) thread interface for C++ programmers.

Martin, pthreads and libdl are pretty fundamental libraries. Perhaps they aren't packaged separately from the base system. Since the error occurs on linking, not compiling, that means the headers are therem but the libraries aren't. I think your Debian installation is seriously broken, and you may save yourself time and hassle by re-installing. Maybe a Debian guru can help you salvage your installation. ------- End of Forwarded Message -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
