That solved the problem. But now there is another problem. If I miss adding -lfortran as external library, I get the following error during build of my test code /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:15: undefined reference to `sqrtq' /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:16: undefined reference to `quadmath_snprintf' /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:20: undefined reference to `quadmath_snprintf' /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:24: undefined reference to `quadmath_snprintf' /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:30: undefined reference to `quadmath_snprintf' /site/ae/shares/MotionLab/papers/pingpong/examples/LongDoublePrecisionTests/test.cpp:20: undefined reference to `quadmath_snprintf' And when I do add -lgfortran as external library, the build goes successful but I get the following error during runtime ./test: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Is it a bug again? or am I missing something this time? and why is fortran important here?
