Installation instructions for SGI IRIX

+ +

+ deal.II works without problems with shared + libraries on this platform, if you list the paths + $D/base/lib, $D/lac/lib, and + $D/deal.II/lib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH + environment variable, where $D is the path to your + installation of the deal.II library. The + necessary actions can be done with the commands + 

+    
+      setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $D/base/lib:$D/lac/lib:$D/deal.II/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    
+
+ for csh-like shells, or by + 
+    
+      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$D/base/lib:$D/lac/lib:$D/deal.II/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    
+
+ if you use the ``bash'' shell. Please substitute $D + by whatever is the appropriate path on your installation. +

+ +

+ These actions are necessary, since on SGI IRIX it seems not + possible to link a program to a shared library by giving the full + path of the latter. On all other systems where we use shared + libraries, the full path to the shared library is given on the + command line and stored somewhere in the executable, so that the + linker finds the library irrespective of the fact that the path is + specified in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or not. However, on SGI IRIX, as it + seems, only the library's name, not its path seems to be stored in + the executable, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be modified. +

+ +

+ We note that this might lead to problems if, for whatever reason, + you have multiple versions of deal.II installed + and compiled with different flags; then, to ensure that you link + to the correct library at execution time, you will have to + redefine LD_LIBRARY_PATH before execution of your program. Another + possibility would be to used statically linked libraries instead + of shared ones (see the + ReadMe file to + find out how to do that). +
