[Paparazzi-devel] Ubuntu 11.10 ivy-ocaml issue & temporary fix

[Gareth Roberts]

Hi all,

The ivy-ocaml in the ubuntu oceinic repository depends on a minor version  
of ocaml which has been bumped up, resulting in an error on attempting to  
install paparazzi-dev.

It would be good if the control file could be updated for the oceinic  
repository.
The offending ocaml-nox version is: 3.12.0-7ubuntu2
The ivy-ocaml package depends on: ocaml-nox-3.11.2

Until this is fixed, if you need to install paparazzi-dev on 11.10 you can  
use the checkinstall created debian package below.
You need to install it before paparazzi-dev.  It's not signed, so if you  
don't trust me, don't install this package.

You can get it here:

There is also what appears to be a linker issue with the plotter:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall `pkg-config glib-2.0 --cflags` -o plotprofile  
plotprofile.c `pkg-config glib-2.0 --libs`  `pcre-config --libs` -lglibivy
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so: undefined reference  
to symbol 'pcre_study'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'pcre_study' is defined in DSO  
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcre.so so try adding it to the linker command  
line
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcre.so: could not read symbols: Invalid  
operation

I'll have a look at a patch shortly.

Cheers,
Gareth
