"cannot find -lnetpbm" (Ubuntu)

[Maik Riechert]

Hi,

I installed  libnetpbm10-dev and netpbm and makefile.os-features contains a "HAVE_NETPBM := yes". But as soon as I "make install" I get:

make -C blind install-extra

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mriecher/apps/_sources/astrometry.net-0.43/blind'

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnetpbm

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

locate netpbm returns:

I tried using -lnetpbm10 but that didn't work either, same error.

Any ideas?

Cheers

-lnetpbm will be looking for a file named "libnetpbm.so"

Normally there is a symbolic link from libnetpbm.so to the version you actually have; for example, on one of my systems I have:

libnetpbm.so -> libnetpbm.so.10
libnetpbm.so.10 -> libnetpbm.so.10.0
libnetpbm.so.10.0

Maybe you need to install a "libnetpbm-dev" package to get the symlinks?
