Re: Any ideas? ~ Ubuntu Linux 9.10 ~ libtool link failure at lib/libgtest.la

[ali01]

Hello everyone

Apologies for the question above. It turns out that the problem was
with g++.
I managed to compile the source. However, when I try to run a simple
test, I get the following:

----------
> g++ $(gtest-config --cppflags --cxxflags) -o ofile.o -c sr_router_entities_test.cpp
> g++ $(gtest-config --ldflags --libs) -o foo ofile.o

/vol/usr/lib/libgtest.la: file not recognized: File format not
recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
-----------

I'm running an amazon EC2 instance of Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Karmic and
I've made sure that the file libgtest.la is in LIBRARY_PATH and that
it has the appropriate permissions (-rwxr-xr-x | root).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ali

Hi Ali,

Try uninstalling Google Test from your system and installing the newly built version.

HTH,
Vlad

[ali01]

I will give that a try when I get a chance and will let you know about
the outcome.

Best,
Ali
