I’d certainly be happy to adjust smart-configure to be smarter. (I’d be even happier to approve a pull request.)
I don’t understand the suggestion about using ldd on libpolyml.so. Do you mean to use it on the poly executable itself? (If I knew where libpolyml.so was, I’d take that to be the lib directory.) Next question: on MacOS, there isn’t an ldd, but the supposedly equivalent otool -L command doesn’t actually spit back anything useful when run on my poly executable, viz: $ otool -L `which poly` /usr/local/bin/poly: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 120.1.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1226.10.1) Does ldd say more useful things on the Linux systems where this appears to be an issue? Having said all this, it’s also possible that using polyc everywhere makes it unnecessary for HOL itself to know anything about this directory. I’ll have to check this.

Maybe smart-configure ought to first resolve libpolyml.so with ldd or so and look for libpolymain.a in that directory, rather than playing not-so-smart string substitution games. -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://primate.net/~itz/blog/the-problem-with-gpg-signatures.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ hol-info mailing list hol-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hol-info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ hol-info mailing list hol-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hol-info
