According to Sean <mecan@hotmail.com>:
I have been trying to use the gpc and I keep getting the error ld: cannot open -lgpc: No such file or directory
(* Sean, please break up your lines; otherwise your mail is hard to read. Thanks. *) The name of the file is `libgpc.a' or `libgpc.so'. I was reported that the Debian distribution fails to symlink libgpc.so -> libgpc.so.2.8 and only sets libgpc.so.2 -> libgpc.so.2.8 which is not sufficient. Doing `ln -s libgpc.so.2.8 libgpc.so' manually in `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-unknown-linux/2.7.2/' (or whereever Debian keeps this lib) should solve your problem.
find | grep lgpc
Try `find | grep libgpc'. I guess it will be in `/usr/lib'. Hope this helps, Peter Dipl.-Phys.
