Why?
I am not trying to build or edit mpfr.
The error message in config.log says that it was
looking for the symbol mpfr_snprintf in -lmpfr .
It did not even find -lmpfr .
Why not?
Because /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so is in the mpfr-devel package, not the
mpfr package. This is not unique to mpfr. All library packages in
Fedora do this. See:
As noted previously, /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.6 is in whatever I've got:
[hennebry@fedora gappa-1.4.0]$ ls /usr/lib64/libmpfr*
/usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.6 /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.6.1.0
[hennebry@fedora gappa-1.4.0]$
An experiment showed me that the .6 suffix prevented ld from finding -lmfpr .
mpfr-devel appears to have gotten me a soft link ending in .so
and a header file.
gappa 1.4.0 is built.
