Fellow users,
I'm running into some rather odd behavior trying to compile some
software, and would like to know if there is maybe a fix or if I should
revert back to a 32-bit version of Centos.
I'm trying to compile NCAR Graphics, as well as some other weather
related software on this machine which is running the Centos 4.1 x86-64
version. It's a dual Xeon processor. I've installed all the required
rpms, i.e., xdevel, xaw, etc. The problem I'm seeing is during linking
of the various packages, where I get messages of "skipping incompatible
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so when searching for -lXaw". I see similar other
messages when trying to link to -L X11, and so forth and so on. I've
got the correct paths set in the makefiles, but not sure I understand
why the libs are being shown as incompatible. If any of you have built
ncarg on the x86-64 OS, I'd sure like to hear from you, and what you did
to effect the compile.
Thanks..
Sam

Your Makefiles should be looking for the 64 bits libs inside /usr/X11R6/lib64 and not the /usr/X11R6/lib (32 bit compat libs).

Tru,
Thanks for the info. Best I can tell by looking at the various
makefiles, and where I've changed them, the linking is looking at the
64-bit libs. I'm no programmer by any means, but I've built a few
things in years past. Anyhow, one package, ncar graphics still gives
the same messages about the incompatible libs, even with it pointing to
the 64-bit lib directory. In building the mm5 products, the actual mm5
exe will build without hitch using the portland group compiler, but when
using ifort of the intel 9.0 compiler, it too fails with the lib
errors. I'm just not educated enough to know why there is an
incompatibility. I'll ask around on some of the other discussion boards
directly related to ncarg and mm5 and see what I can dig up there.
