Compilation fails on Ubuntu 22.04.2

[pbroadbery]

Hi,

I tried to build axiom from github as per the instructions - any idea how to fix?
My guess is that I'm missing an rpc related package, but a quick google didn't reveal a good candidate.
Alternatively, can one disable the requirement for the library?

End of build log below..

Thanks,

Peter

This is an Ubuntu problem. See https://access.redhat.com/discussions/4780341 for a fix. Let me know if it works. I don't recall any use of rpc in Axiom but who knows what evil lies beyond the C.

As an update, installing tirpc (sudo apt-get install libtrpc-dev) and adding 'CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tirpc' to the build helped, but only as far as to reproduce the problems in #14 and #6.
I'll see if I can get round those in a few days.

Perhaps it is the version of the C compiler you're using? I usually use C99.

Hitting the same issue...

It's not axiom that uses rpc. But gcl.

I've already got gcl up and running. If I knew how to tell axiom to use the system's gcl... well, I'd like to know.

EDIT: RedHat requires a login to see the "fix" that @daly points to.

EDIT: Worse and worse... Created an account, just for that discussion, and... "SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. An active Red Hat Subscription is required to post and respond to discussions."

Installing the ubuntu package libtirpc-dev and building with `make CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tirpc' indeed make the build progress to the linking errors mentionned above in #14 and #6. I confirm.

@pbroadbery did you get any further ?
