<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Jean Pierre -- <DIV>Current public builds of GrADS use DODS version 3.2 and were built with gcc version 2.9. These versions of the libraries and the complier are now in retirement, and in many operating systems are dead and gone. If you can find or install the old version of gcc on your box, then you can probably build 1.9b4 from source with the linux supplib tar file we provide. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV>If you do not have gcc version 2.9, then you must build a more recent version of DODS (OPenDAP) and then you have to fiddle with the configure script and/or the Makefile in order to get a build of gradsdods. I have used DODS 3.4 successfully on linux, but it does require a bit of mucky-muck. If you can build DODS 3.2, then I would use Patrice's -enable-dynamic-supplibs mods and I bet it would find the new version of dods and create a usable makefile. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Jennifer</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Oct 18, 2006, at 11:46 AM, Jean Pierre Arabonis wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> Thanks Patrice for the suggestions, I tried your tarball without success, same errors came up as before.<BR> <BR> I have brought across the following:<BR> <BR> grads-1.9b3-src.tar.gz<BR> grads-1.9b3-supplibs-linuxRH9.tar.gz<BR> <BR> put them in a directory and tried:<BR> <BR> >./configure --with-dods --libdir=/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/supplibs/lib <BR> <BR> and I have success with everything in order, then all falls over when I try make:<BR> <BR> >make<BR> <BR> <A class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:arabonis@baltic:/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3">arabonis@baltic:/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3</A>> make<BR> Making all in src<BR> make[1]: Entering directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'<BR> make all-am<BR> make[2]: Entering directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'<BR> gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.././supplibs/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O -c `test -f 'gxdxwd.c' || echo './'`gxdxwd.c<BR> gxdxwd.c:25: error: conflicting types for 'calloc'<BR> gxdxwd.c:25: error: conflicting types for 'calloc'<BR> make[2]: *** [gxdxwd.o] Error 1<BR> make[2]: Leaving directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'<BR> make[1]: *** [all] Error 2<BR> make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'<BR> make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1<BR> <BR> This is now well over my head, anyone out there can tell me what is going on and if/how to solve it.<BR> <BR> On the side track I tried the fedora core 1.8 compilation again through gdb, maybe someone can tell me what is going on as it seems to be the common problem with all the versions of grads:<BR> <BR> arabonis@baltic:/data/source/Gradsfedoracore> gdb --quiet gradsdods<BR> Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".<BR> (gdb) run<BR> Starting program: /data/source/Gradsfedoracore/gradsdods<BR> warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: unknown thread_db error '22'<BR> <BR> Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) Version 1.8SL11<BR> Copyright (c) 1988-2001 by Brian Doty<BR> Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies<BR> Institute for Global Environment and Society<BR> All Rights Reserved<BR> <BR> Config: v1.8SL11 32-bit little-endian readline sdf/xdf netcdf DODS-enabled lats printim<BR> <BR> Issue 'q config' command for more information.<BR> <BR> Landscape mode?

why it shouldn't be possible to install them on slackware, either using
the packaging system or by recompiling (even though I don't know anything
about slackware). In case you want to build against 'system' libraries
(libraries not in the supplib directory) you may be interested in the
grads tarball I distribute here (with only changes in configure with
--dyn-supplib given):
