gmfsk - fftw lib not found

[Jack Heller]

Hello,

	./configure fails with gmfsk 0.6

	error reads: fftw libraries not found

	I made the original mistake of installing fftw3, removed it  Used 
the "remove" in the Ubuntu "Adept" package -- Perhaps that is not a complete 
uninstall.  ??

	System is ubuntu 6.06

	Have since installed fftw 2.1.3 -- no help

	Then installed fftw 2.1.5 -- same failure.

	I thought perhaps there is something to be changed in PATH, but I do not 
understand how that is to be done.

	 I have looked in archives and it would seem I am the only person with this 
problem.

	Please . . . Help

	Thanks --  Jack   KB7NO

You need to install the development libraries for fftw. The package is
called fftw-dev in Debian and probably the same in Ubuntu.

Thanks Hamish,
	I am working on getting the dev file.  A small confusion exists.  I will sort 
out the apt-get commands and get this done.  Found some nice instructions, 
decided to print them and had to stop and fill print cartridges.  Will 
persevere.  Thanks a bunch -- Really want to see this work.

By the way Jack, gmfsk is included in Ubuntu and so there's no need to
compile it yourself (unless you want to).

apt-get install gmfsk

should do the trick as long as you have the "universe" section in your
sources.list. edgy has 0.7pre1.

Thanks again Hamish,
	I attempted to get/install gmfsk but am using 6.06 Dapper.  Not found error. 

	So, decided to chance the upgrade to 6.10 -- Failed because (I think) the 
Internet connection interrupted.  Have a few corrupt files so the install 
didn't succeed.  Luckily, 6.06 is still working.  (Not noticeably wrecked.)  
Had a much worse experience with Red Hat Fedora a few months ago on upgrade.  
This Ubuntu seems to be more nearly bullet-proof.

	Will try again.  Just wanted you to know I am still trying.  

	Thanks for your input Hamish.

Hi Jack,

You have to edit your sources.list to add the universe section - it is
not a core package. I think Ubuntu may have a tool for configuring your
package sections.

gmfsk is in universe in edgy (6.10) also.

Debian and its derivatives (including Ubuntu) are much more robust with
regard to partial upgrades. No reinstalls required - ever.

cheers

I wish that were universally true.  After ~10 years of using Debian  
and its derivatives I finally had an upgrade go wrong--Ubuntu 6.06 ->  
6.10 (I used apt-get instead of update-manager, which apparently  
handles this one better, but I tend to prefer non-gui solutions).   
Fortunately I learned long ago to keep /home and /usr/local on  
separate partitions so recovery was somewhat painless.  Besides, an  
occasional reinstall reduces cruft.
