[gradsusr] problem while installing the libpng after zlib

[Huddleston, John]

It looks like you have two different installation directories: /home/Hasan/supplibs and /root/supplibs.

My suggestion is to use the --prefix option when you configure; then, when you do a 'make install' the binaries will go into the directory designated by the prefix. No hand copying is required.

As the Hasan user (not root) do the following
./configure --prefix=/home/Hasan/supplibs
make
make install

for the other packages they will require LIBS to be set to the find your libraries; and, for grads it will require the SUPPLIBS to be set to the directory where the supplibs are located.

Subject: [gradsusr] problem while installing the libpng after zlib

Hi dear fellows,
                     I am using the GrADS version 2.0.a9 and I wish to install supplemental libraries from http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/supplibs.html. I followed each and every step as mentioned there.
My laptop system supports i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. I want to convert my data into GRIB2 format by using GrADS. For this purpose, i want to use g2clib 1.1.8. Before installing it, it is necessary to install some other libs like zlib and libpng. I successfully installed the zlib but when i tried to install libpng following eror message occurred:


checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no

configure: error: zlib not installed

While i had already installed zlib as shown from the following messages:

[root at localhost zlib]# make

[root at localhost zlib]# cp ./include/zlib.h /home/Hasan/supplibs/include/zlib

cp: overwrite `/home/Hasan/supplibs/include/zlib/zlib.h'? y

Could you guide me how to resolve this problem?
