blas-transposed-matrix: too many template-parameter-lists

[Alexand...@uni.lu]

Dear Linbox Team,

I would like to report the below installation error on the current version of Linux Fedora, which arises when using a compilation strategy that was successful on the version of Linux Fedora of one year ago.

It seems that I have installed well givaro and fflas-ffpack:

[root@ubiron givaro-4.0.4]# pkg-config --cflags  givaro
-I/usr/local/include -fabi-version=6

[root@ubiron fflas-ffpack-2.3.2]# pkg-config --cflags fflas-ffpack
-I/usr/local/include -fopenmp -fabi-version=6

However, when running ./configure in the linbox-1.5.2 and then "make check", I get the following error message (at the end of a longer screen output which is not suspicious beforehand):

_____________________________________________________________________

[rahm@ubiron linbox-1.5.2]$

____________________________________________________________________

Afterwards, I am able to complete the installation of linbox 1.5.2,

[root@ubiron linbox-1.5.2]# pkg-config --cflags --libs linbox
-O2 -Wall -g -DNDEBUG -U_LB_DEBUG -DDISABLE_COMMENTATOR -I/usr/local/include -fopenmp -fabi-version=6 -L/usr/local/lib -llinbox -fopenmp -lopenblas -lgivaro -lgmp -lgmpxx

but when I want to compile a program involving linbox, I get a fatal error pointing back to the TransposedBlasMatrix which was not properly installed.

Is there a way to remove the superfluous template-parameter-lists?

Wishing you all the best,

Alexander Rahm

Dear Alexander Rahm, 

This was fixed in https://github.com/linbox-team/linbox/issues/116

Thanks for the report,

Dear Professor Dumas,

Thank you - the fixed source file, which you have linked, works on my machine!

This has solved my installation problem.

Many thanks,

Alexander Rahm
