I got a similar report from a user with a (I think) outdated python interpreter (while the python port is current enough for ILU). The problem here is that ilu's configure script includes support for languages if it finds the main interpreter, but doesn't check any further to see if the version is right, the header files are found etc. > If it does work with guile, that's fine, but please add *_DEPENDS to > the Makefile in that case.

A binary package built with support for them still works fine for C and C++ on a system without guile and python. > I guess you probably want to just disable that check though. I disabled guile in configure options and added a note for those with 1.2 installed. I left python support because the python port is for a version that works. I'll see if I can add bettter checks to ILU's configure. I could take care for the guile port as well, but guile-iii does some things guile-1.2 doesn't, so I have to check back with the users before. After all, I expected more trouble with this port :-) Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://www.cons.org/cracauer cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de (batched, preferred for large mails) Tel.: (daytime) +4940 41478712 Fax.: (daytime) +4940 41478715 Tel.: (private) +4940 5221829 Fax.: (private) +4940 5228536 Paper: (private) Waldstrasse 200, 22846 Norderstedt, Germany
