From kreckel at thep.physik.uni-mainz.de Fri Dec 15 19:31:55 2000 From: kreckel at thep.physik.uni-mainz.de (Richard B. Kreckel) Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2000 19:31:55 +0100 (CET) Subject: Release 0.7.0 is on the wire Message-ID: Hi all, I have just finished packaging GiNaC 0.7.0. It is sitting at the usual places, see . Beware that you really do need CLN 1.1 (silently released yesterday) in order to use it! This is so, because CLN 1.1 is interface-incompatible (namespace cln) with earlier versions of CLN and GiNaC 0.7.0 is expecting the new interface. For those of you (Eduardo, Bernard) who want to extract a cln::cl_N from GiNaC::numeric for various reasons, there is now a method GiNaC::numeric::to_cl_N() which does right that. (I was first having a casting operator in mind, but that turned out to lead into ambiguities quite easily so we'll use .to_cl_N() from now on.) Cint users should upgrade to at least 5.14.62 in order to use GiNaC-cint with the current release. So, this is the list of required package versions and the order of steps how to proceed: * Install GMP >= 3.0 (current is 3.1.1) (optional) * Install CLN >= 1.1 (current is 1.1) * Install Cint >= 5.14.62 (current is 5.14.65) (optional) * Install GiNaC 0.7.0 * rejoice, cheer, sing... ;-) We plan to provide .deb and .rpm packages next week. And please read the file NEWS to see what else has changed. Happy hacking -rbk. -- Richard Kreckel From blenderman at free.fr Sun Dec 17 10:40:52 2000 From: blenderman at free.fr (Pol Dell'aiera) Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 10:40:52 +0100 Subject: Library bug Message-ID: <3A3C8A24.D6D6B2B5@free.fr> hi ginac team !

Please look at the other messages. In particular, there must have been one section where it says 'checking for CLN'. It may look like this: checking for cln-config... /usr/local/bin/cln-config checking for CLN - version >= 1.1.0... no *** Could not run CLN test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means *** that the run-time linker is not finding CLN or finding the wrong *** version of CLN. If it is not finding CLN, you'll need to set your *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point *** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that *** is required on your system. I am sure you just missed that. (After that you may want to study config.log to see what's going on.) Regards -richy. -- Richard Kreckel
