[ADMB Users] compiling ADMB | RHEL 5.5

[Evan Cooch]

Greetings --

I've been trying (without success) to compile ADMB (10.x) from source on 
a machine  running x86_64 RHEL (which, as many or you might know, uses 
gcc 4.1.2).  I'm hoping the solution isn't as simple as 'you have to 
have gcc 4.4.x to compile ADMB -- if so, then this lets out RHEL, 
CentOS, and Scientific Linux, all of whom stay far from the bleeding 
edge and use 4.1.x).

So, here is what I've tried -- followed the basic instructions in the 
README file -- downloaded latest admb-10.0.zip. Extracted, then (from 
bash shell) run ./configure BUILD_64BIT=yes


While the screen dump didn't indicate any problems, looking deeper into 
the configure.log showed multiple 'issues'. First, picks up gcc fine

configure:2117: checking for gcc
configure:2133: found /usr/bin/gcc
configure:2144: result: gcc
configure:2373: checking for C compiler version
configure:2382: gcc --version >&5
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)


First errors show up when looking at C++ preprocessor:

configure:3128: checking how to run the C++ preprocessor
configure:3155: g++ -E  conftest.cpp
configure:3155: $? = 0
configure:3169: g++ -E  conftest.cpp

configure:3169: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

| #define PACKAGE_URL ""

configure:3194: result: g++ -E
configure:3214: g++ -E  conftest.cpp

| #define PACKAGE_URL ""

and later on

Tried a 32-bit build -- same errors.

Now, I did proceed and try make, lots of warnings, but no outright 
fails. However, make install crashed and burned:

install -d -m 555 /usr/local/admb/bin /usr/local/admb/include 
/usr/local/admb/lib /usr/local/admb/docs /usr/local/admb/examples
install -m 555 
build/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/bin/* /usr/local/admb/bin
install -m 444 
build/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/include/* 
/usr/local/admb/include
install -m 444 
build/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/admb-10.0-linux-gcc4.1.2-64bit/lib/* /usr/local/admb/lib
install -m 444 LICENSE /usr/local/admb
install -m 444 README.txt /usr/local/admb
install -m 444 Makefile /usr/local/admb
install -m 555 scripts/g++/admb-bin /usr/local/bin/admb
install: cannot stat `scripts/g++/admb-bin': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1


At this point, I'll take any and all suggestions, no matter how trivial 
(save for installing gcc 4.4.x).
