Error compiling PAPI on Ubuntu 11.10 64bits

[eyderrios]

I'm trying compile PAPI on Ubuntu 11.10 / x86_64 (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz).
I am getting the following output when run "configure".
I've done many searches looking for a solution without success.
Any help will be wellcome.

Thanks,

I think the problem could be at line #3520 of "configure" script.

Code: Select all

If { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_link\"") >&5


The expanded value of $ac_link variable is:

Code: Select all

gcc -o conftest  -g   -ldl conftest.c

When I execute this command separatelly, I get link errors:

Code: Select all

gcc -o conftest  -g   -ldl conftest.c
/tmp/ccphIDCh.o: In function `main':
/tmp/conftest.c:26: undefined reference to `dlopen'
/tmp/conftest.c:26: undefined reference to `dlerror'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


However if I execute this command changing the place of "-ldl" directive:

Code: Select all

gcc -o conftest  -g  conftest.c -ldl


The code compiles with no errors.

Please, comment!

this is a bug in our configure script and is fixed in CVS (and will be in the 4.2 release which will be out soon).

It's working after update to 5.3.0 version.
Thanks for helping.
