Hi,

I have been trying to compile Asyn 4-8 with Linux GPIB support.  I am
using a National Instrument PCI GPIB card with EPICS Base 3.14.9 on a
Scientific Linux 4.2.  The card is recognized by the system.  I have
installed linux-gpib-3.2.09.
When I try to compile Asyn, I get the following error:

...


I looked for libgpib.a, but I don't see it on my machine.  Instead, I
find libgpib.la.  Does anybody have an idea how to fix this??

I have no experience with your specific problem, but I do know that a libXXX.la file is usually a version of a library created by an application that uses GNU libtool before it is installed using 'make install'.


Did you compile the National Instruments libgpib.la program yourself? If so, try doing a 'make install' in that directory which in my experience will cause the appropriate libgpib.a file to be created and installed in the appropriate location. If you can't do that because you don't have write access to the target directory you might need to re-run the ./configure program in the GPIB build area specifying a --prefix=/path/to/somewhere.

As an alternative, you can try looking for a hidden directory in the same directory as the libgpib.la file which I think will contain the actual libgpib.a file that you're looking for.

HTH,

- Andrew
