RE: building pspp

Update: I softlinked /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-4.4 instead of gcc-4.6 (gcc-4.5 gave the same problem) and now it compiles fine

Thanks,

Thanks Jason,

The lib is in /usr/lib, not /usr/local/lib, so I dont think thats the problem.

I did some googling and found the following : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

This makes me think it's a change in gcc - I'm using gcc 4.6.1. The proposed solution is to add the so explicitly to the linker, but I'm a bit lost where I can do that... Any hints?
