[solved] cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libnrniv.la'

Dear all,
I get this message, when I attempt to use nrnivmodl
Code: Select all
link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libnrniv.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libnrniv.la'
make: *** [libnrnmech.la] Errore 1
Actually, there isn't the file "libnrniv.la" in the folder /usr/lib
Thank you!
Camillo

What version of Linux are you using, and what version of NEURON? Did you install NEURON from source code or from an rpm?
At the system prompt, type
neurondemo
What do you see?

Thank you for reply.
I'm using arch linux. I've installed neuron (version 7.1) with this PKGBUILD (arch has got a ports-like source packaging system):
Code: Select all
# Maintainer: Michael Schubert <mschu.dev at gmail>
# Contributor: David Campbell <davekong@archlinux.us>
pkgname=neuron
pkgver=7.1
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Empirically-based simulations of neurons and networks of neurons"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.neuron.yale.edu"
license=('GPL')
depends=('interviews')
optdepends=('python2-numpy' 'python2-scipy' 'mpich2' 'openmpi')
source=("http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/v$pkgver/nrn-$pkgver.tar.gz")
options=('!libtool')
md5sums=('cd5dd415c1f71f11604a58e57f1cd7f9')
build() {
cd "$srcdir/nrn-$pkgver"
./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib \
--with-nrnpython=/usr/bin/python2 --with-numpy --with-pararn
make
}
package() {
cd "$srcdir/nrn-$pkgver"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}
and
Code: Select all
# Maintainer: Michael Schubert <mschu.dev at gmail>
# Contributor: David Campbell <davekong@archlinux.us>
pkgname=interviews
pkgver=17
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GUI for neuron"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.neuron.yale.edu"
license=('custom')
depends=('libx11')
source=("http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/v7.1/iv-$pkgver.tar.gz")
options=('!libtool')
md5sums=('7816b911b3ea3990ff54a786a73861bc')
build() {
cd "$srcdir/iv-$pkgver"
./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib
make
}
package() {
cd "$srcdir/iv-$pkgver"
install -Dm644 Copyright "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/COPYING"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}
When I type neurondemo (as root user), at the end I see:
Code: Select all
libnrniv.la" -livoc -lneuron_gnu -lmeschach -lsundials -lm -ldl
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libnrniv.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libnrniv.la'
make: *** [libnrnmech.la] Errore 1
/usr/bin/neurondemo: line 21: /usr/share/nrn/demo/neuron: File o directory non esistente

Yes! Without '!libtool' option in the pkgbuild, nrnivmodl works well!!! :)

Hello,
I have encountered the same problem on Scinetific Linux 6. The version of NEURON is 7.1. I cannot run neurondemo as a root user, the machine is administered by the local IT Systems group. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do?
Best regards.

That's ancient; there have been many bug fixes and performance improvements since then. Current alpha versions
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/alpha/ are all 7.3, and the latest development code from the mercurial repository is already at 7.4. Suggest you follow the instructions at
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/download/getdevel for getting and building the latest development code, none of which requires root access. The result will be that you have your own installation of NEURON that is up to date.
