For starters you can paste the error you are getting. my bad: [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# ./configure -bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# sh ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... //bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/tmp/poppler-0.20.4': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details Try with bash instead of sh? Or try to compile with cmake instead of autotools? bash gives this (if i've done it right): [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# bash ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... //bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/tmp/poppler-0.20.4': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details what command am i using for cmake? (fontend dev, not linux, apologies) For cmake usage cd poppler_folder mkdir build cd build cmake .. make Also which gcc version do you have? no joy: [root@www lib]# cd /tmp/poppler-0.20.4 [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# mkdir build [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# cd build [root@www build]# cmake .. -bash: cmake: command not found [root@www build]# cmake -bash: cmake: command not found [root@www build]# cmake .. -bash: cmake: command not found [root@www build]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [root@www build]# cd ../ [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# gcc [root@www poppler-0.20.4]# gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: x86_64-redhat-linux Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi --disable-plugin --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --with-cpu=generic --host=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50) gcc 4.1 is ancient i'm not sure we want to support that For cmake you might want to install cmake before using it. Anyway this is not a bug per se, you're just using old versions of everything thus the last version of poppler that compiles is an old one. I am sure you could somehow convince newer versions of poppler to compile on older versions of stuff like RedHat carries, but as said this is not a bug. You might want to post to the mailing list in case someone has been in the same situation than you. that all makes sense. thanks for the help :) |
