    Hi all,

    I'm trying to install "xppaut" on Lucid, but whenever I run "make" from the uncompressed tarball, I get the following error message:

    Anyone have idea what I can do to fix this?

    I just installed the dependencies listed on Ubuntu package info page for Karmic, but I still get the following:

    As written on Makefile, I replaced parserslow2.o with parser2.o, but then I get the same error message for different files again and again.

    Hi,
    can I ask you a Q?
    Why do you want to compile it yourself?
    There is already compiled binary of that app. just download that tgz file, untar, run. That's it ...

    download:
    Index of /~bard/bardware/binary

    save the:
    xppaut6.00linux.tgz

    untar:
    tar -xzvf xppaut6.00linux.tgz

    run:
    ./xppaut

    I don't use it, but this seams to me much easier ...?

    Ah... I didn't know it was there. Thanks!

    I still want to know how to compile it though, for a future reference.

    That seems to me a poorly (hand)written Makefile... Why don't they just use the Autotools.

    They do state something about that on their README file inside the tarball though. Have you tried that?
