[rsf-devel] Unable to run configure on Fedora 29

Hi

I'm trying to compile madagascar on Fedora 29 but running the configure always gives me the following error:

checking for Python ... /usr/bin/python

checking Python version ... 2.7.15

checking for RSFROOT ... /usr/local/madagascar

checking for SCons ... /usr/bin/scons

checking SCons version ... v3.0.1.74b2c53bc42290e911b334a6b44f187da698a668

checking if gcc accepts '-x c -std=gnu99 -Wall -pedantic' ... yes

checking for ar ... (cached) ar

  Needed package: glibc-headers

  Fatal missing dependency

------------------------

Done with configuration.

I have installed all the required libraries.

What am I missing?

Thanks to Zhicheng, I was able to compile successfully madagascar on Fedora 29?.

First, one must install libtirpc-devel.

Then add in framework/configure.py (around line 317)

    elif plat['OS'] == 'linux' and plat['distro'] == 'fedora':

        context.env['CPPPATH'] = path_get(context,'CPPPATH','/usr/include/tirpc')

        LIBS.append('tirpc')

Then ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/dir API=gfortran

Then make.
