I don't see the make check failures in your bpaste.net post, if there are only 2 could you post them to the list?

It sounds like you fixed your compile issues - could you write a short text on exactly what you did so I can add it to the INSTALL file to help others down the road? Do you think there is an autoconf check that could detect the problem and automatically adjust the config.h to compile correctly?

Perhaps you could run 'make check' under 'script' and send me the typescript file so I can see the exact errors you are getting.

After doing the suggested commenting, GSL now fully completes “make”, but “make 
check” claims to find two errors, here is the log: 
http://bpaste.net/show/190944/

“make check” also prints a bunch of warnings about printf format strings on 
stderr, but more worryingly, at the end it also prints this to stderr:
94 warnings generated.
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
   "_square", referenced from:
       _E1 in test.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [test] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

So I guess it couldn’t compile one of the test programs?

After “make install”, I tried “make check” again, and now I get:
test_static(20591,0x7fff73220310) malloc: *** error for object 0x7f9420500128: 
incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being 
freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
/bin/sh: line 1: 20591 Abort trap: 6           ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test_static

Should I be worried about these tests failing, or can I ignore them and proceed 
to try to integrate my code into GSL?

Make is the command that is failing.  I do the following:
CC=/usr/bin/clang CFLAGS=-g ./configure --disable-shared 
--prefix=/Users/jfcaron/Projects/GSL/compiled
make

I use —disable-shared because the MacOS section of INSTALL recommends it, but 
removing it changes nothing.

Many things are compiled (with clang), and eventually I reach this error 
message:

I have read the INSTALL sections about MacOS and PPC platforms, but they don’t 
seem to be relevant to this issue.  The compilation error occurs while making 
the ieee-utils target, in the file fp-darwin.c.  It seems that something 
expects all MacOS hosts to still be PPC machines?  The ./configure step is able 
to figure it out:

checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin13.1.0

Here is the output of sw_vers and clang -v on my system:

address@hidden:~/Projects/GSL/gsl-1.6$ sw_vers

ProductVersion: 10.9.2

Thanks for the help so far.  Let me know if I should paste the entire configure 
& make logs, or if I can provide other information for figuring this out.

Hi,

Could you be more specific about the errors you are getting? Does
configure fail or does make fail?

There is also a section on MacOS compilation in the INSTALL file (search
for Hints for MacOS X and PowerPC)

As far as testing, you could edit interpolation/test.c and add a new
routine test_steffen().

You could also simply write a standalone test program and link it again
the GSL library, without needing to compile it into GSL.

Hi, several times now I’ve needed a monotonic interpolation method.  I saw some 
posts from 2 years ago on this list from someone who implemented the method 
from Steffen (1990), but it never got integrated into GSL and I couldn’t 
contact that person.

I have now also implemented Steffen’s interpolation algorithm by copying the existing 
akima.c file, but I am quite at a loss as to how to compile & test the code.  I 
normally use GSL installed from MacPorts which handles all the compilation.  I tried 
wget’ing the archive for GSL 1.6 and doing ./configure && make, but then I get 
errors about the PPC architecture (this is an x86 mac).

Could someone walk me through the steps for compiling & testing my steffen.c 
code?  My starting point:
- a fresh download and ./configure of GSL 1.6
- steffen.c placed in $GSL/interpolation

I don’t need people to write the test program itself, I just need to get to 
something that will compile with “int main(void){return 0;}”.  I can probably 
handle the rest of the testing.

Thanks for any help,
Jean-François Caron
