Installation fails: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran

[Klausb]

Hello,

I have been trying to install magma on Ubuntu 16.04 with cuda-9.0, gcc/g++ 6.3 and gfortran

The problem is, the installation fails due to: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran

-lgfortran usually refers to the shared library libgfortran.so which is not in /usr/bin, there's the gfortran binary

libgfortran.so is a link in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5

libgfortran.so.3 is a link in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

libgfortran.so.3.0.0 is the actual shared library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I added -L$/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5 in make.inc

Code: Select all

LIBDIR    = -L$(CUDADIR)/lib64 \
            -L$(MKLROOT)/lib/intel64 \
            -L$/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

AND even copied libgfortran.so.3.0.0 to /usr/bin

But nothing had an effect.

error...

How should I add the library path for libgfortran.so to make.inc so the compiler finds it during compilation?

just for the record, the problem was caused by a mismatch of gcc/g++ <> gfortran compiler versions, updating gfortran is the fix
