[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When configuring Guile 2.0.9 for Solaris 10  64 bit 148888-03 Sparc, I get
the error in the subject. I did a find . -name libltdl -print and libltdl is
found in /usr/lib, usr/local/lib and /lib. The version of libtool I have
installed is 2.4.2. This is really holding me up on being able to finish
upgrading other software.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

Can you check the config.log file, and send the excerpt around the line
that contains the error message about ltdl not being found?

> The version of libtool I have installed is 2.4.2.

That should be OK.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ludo,

The only thing around the error in the config log is to view the README
file.

I was actually referring to the file named ‘config.log’.

When everything goes well, it contains something like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
configure:41904: checking for libltdl
configure:41926: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  -lltdl >&5
configure:41926: $? = 0
configure:41936: result: yes
configure:41943: checking how to link with libltdl
configure:41945: result: -lltdl
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In your case, the lines after ‘checking for libltdl’ probably show a
compiler or linker error.  Could you send those lines?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

I know.  Yet, ‘configure’ creates a ‘config.log’ file with additional
details, as I explained.  Can you please check its contents according to
the recommendations I gave?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

Ludo,
I figured it out but now I am getting another error when running 'make all'
CCLD guile
Undefined symbol		first referenced in file
ffi_closure_alloc		./.libs/libguile-2.0.so
ffi_type_pointer
ffi_prep_closure_loc
ffi_type_uint8
ffi_type_sint8
ffi_type_float
GC_unregister_my_thread
ffi_type_uint32
ffi_type_uint16
ffi_type_uint64
ffi_type_sint32
ffi_type_sint16
ffi_type_sint64
ffi_type_void
ffi_type_double
GC_register_my_thread
ffi_call
ffi_closure_free
ffi_prop_cif
GC_pthread_create
GC_pthread_detach
ld:fatal:symbol reference errors. No output written to .lib/guile
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I get this error when using either the Solaris 10 built in gcc version 3.4.3 or Solaris Studio version 12.3 as the compiler.

Eric

Apparently you're not successfully linking to libffi, which should
contain those ffi_* symbols.  What FFI-related options or environment
variables did you pass to ./configure?  I'd like to see the output of
"grep -i libffi config.log".

It also appears that Guile was configured with thread support, but that
your libgc was built without thread support.  If you don't need thread
support, then I suggest passing "--without-threads" to ./configure,
otherwise you'll need to rebuild libgc (preferably version 7.2d) with
thread support.

     Regards,
       Mark
