[Ecls-list] Fwd: eclgmp on osx?

[Rick Taube]

I just tried to build ecl cvs on two different machines here at the  
university. both of them are 10.4.8 ppc, and both end with that same  
error. I removed libeclgmp.a and did make libeclgmp.a. ranlib is  
being called and reports no symbols. here is the trace:
thanks for your help...

rm libeclgmp.a
make libeclgmp.a

Libraries have been installed in:
    /usr/local/src/ecl/build

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
    - add LIBDIR to the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
      during execution

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
