[GenABEL-dev] LATEX error on autoreconf

[Frank, Alvaro Jesus]

Hi Lennart, 

My solution was simlier, check for mpicc/mpixx and done, no need for special scripts. For me as a developer it might not be a problem, but I am testing user environments and I cant ask users to do download those special features. Is there a way to revert it to a system where a conditional check is used for mpicc/mpixx and if not use normal g++?

-Alvaro

For the record, any request made to user gets escalated to sysadmins and then this is what happens:


---------------------------------------
Daer Mr. Frank,

i needed some time to get it compiled,
each compiling one day.

It comes out, that for installation gcc 4.6 and 4.9 conflicts in system libraries with same name.

Due to the fact, that 223 packages depend on gcc 4.6 i can not update these libraries.

Sorry, but gcc 4.6 is highest gcc version i can provide.

Best regards,

-----------------------

That's because the AX_PROG_CXX_MPI autoconf macro is not part of the
default autoconf install. See the SVN log message of commit 1849 for
pointers on how to solve this error.

Indeed. But it's a good idea to review log messages of the changes that
were done by others ;-).

Let me know if you keep having troubles with this.
