Did you read the messages printed during "make install"? You should
have seen a big message that says the following:

If you follow the instructions in the message, everything will work.

Everything is the default. So the install script choses to create a new directory pspp and to place the *.so in /usr/local/ib/pspp without changing the ld.so.conf file. I think this is not user friendly.

Sure but for new users this will be 100% who get the warning. Wouldn't it be better to check and change the ld.so.conf if necessary?

It's possible, but a bad idea in my opinion.
The correct way is to enter /usr/local/lib (or whatever prefix you've chosen) into your /etc/ld.so.conf file.

Perhaps it would be possible for make install to check that libpsppire.so can be dlopened and issue a warning if not.

Oeps

libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `psppire': libps
ppire.so: kan gedeeld objectbestand niet openen: Bestand of map bestaat niet

Translated something like:

libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `psppire': libps
ppire.so: can't open shared objectfile: File or directory not found.

The file exists in /usr/local/bin/pspp.

If I place a link in /lib to /usr/local/lib/pspp/libpsppire.so it works.

However, I don't think the average user will do that. Is there a possiblity to let the make script do this?

The pertinent message is this one:

libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `psppire': libps
ppire.so: kan gedeeld objectbestand niet openen: Bestand of map bestaat niet

I don't understant the Dutch text. Perhaps it means something to you. But it looks as if libpsppire.so hasn't been installed, or the dynamic loader can't find it.

Running ldconfig after installing may help.

Hi

The gui crashes whenever I use any of the "analyze" or "utilities" function of the gui. I attached the trace of it.

Hope this helps
