Subject: Problems executing make for gen2shp
Message-ID: <200310271123.45830.Johan Olanders <>>

Hi again!
I finally got the River Ouse catchment (Sussex, UK) working with GREAT-ER 1.05 
befor I left! Unfortunatley I had to leave the PC. So now I'm setting up a 
another PC back in Sweden to be able to do some re pre-processing.

This time I'm using Mandrake 9.1 GNU/Linux
gen2shp 0.3.1
shapelib 1.2.10

Here are the errors I get

[johan at frodo gen2shp-0.3.1]$ make
cc -I /home/johan/greater/preproc -o gen2shp -lshp gen2shp.c utils.o
/usr//bin/ld: cannot find -lshp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [gen2shp] Error 1
[johan at frodo gen2shp-0.3.1]$

I guess it's some kind of problem with paths and I've tried to figure out the 
right way to solve it without sucess.

I had the same problems back in UK when running RedHat, that time the problem 
was solved by using already finished rpm's for gen2shp and shapelib. But they 
won't install correctly in Mandrake 9.1 (I'm using Mandrake now because my 
old IBM 6091 screen is more difficult to get working with RedHat.)

(I remember Jan-Oliver told me last time to specify where to find the 
libshp.la and adapt the CFLAGS to this but I can't find a libshp.la file 
after uncompressing shapelib 1.2.10)

Any ideas? / Johan

Hi Johan,

you are gessing right that the path to the libshp is perhaps missing.
My first question is: Have you successfully compiled the shapelib package?
If so, there must be some library file.

Another hint: If you feel yourself familiar with the RPM packaging
system, you can download the src-rpm files of shapelib and gen2shp
and create new binary install packages for your Mandrake 9.1.
In case you are not familiar, but interested, I have attached a
html-file which will be part of the next FreeGIS CD release and explains
how to create binary packages yourself.

All the best

	Jan
