Compilation of AMOS [-lexpat error]

[francicco]

Dears,

I'm trying to compile AMOS package. Unfortunately I'm having this error:

g++ -g -O2 -o toAmos_new toAmos_new-toAmos_new.o ../../src/Common/libCommon.a ../../src/AMOS/libAMOS.a ../../src/Foundation/libAMOSFoundation.a -lexpat -lz -lc -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat

Of course expat library is installed, path to the library are in the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and in LD_RUN_PATH

Do some of you had the same problem. How could I fix it?

Thanks
best

See the second answer in this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...meofthelibrary

$ ld -lexpat --verbose

See if you are able to find the exact version of the library it is looking for.

Thanks,

the code gave me:

if I execute:

ld -lexpat --library-path=$PATH_TO_LIB --verbose

it gives me:

attempt to open PATH_TO_LIB/libexpat.so succeeded

So? I don't really understand. Sorry

What version of SUSE are you using?

[francicco]

Actually it is a cluster. I'm installing libraries and application on local.
