Can't build on Ubuntu Intrepid

Hi guys,

I’ve been trying to build the newest version of MPL
on Ubuntu Intrepid for a few days now. I’m not getting anywhere. I
believe I have all the correct dev packages installed. I had tried to build
0.98.3 but it came out via apt-get. Can anyone take a look at my install output
(attached) and give me an idea of what I may be doing wrong? TIA

Is it possible you are not using g++ here ? The compile line that is failing is

  cc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -ansi -m64 -w -DCOMPUTER_LOPT64 -DANSI
-I/usr/local/VNI/imsl/cnl600/linux64/include -fPIC
-I/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I.
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -c CXX/cxxextensions.c -o
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/CXX/cxxextensions.o
  In file included from CXX/cxxextensions.c:38:
  ./CXX/WrapPython.h:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '/' token

The line in question, line 1 of WrapPython.h, is simply a comment.

Flags like

   -DANSI -I/usr/local/VNI/imsl/cnl600/linux64/include

indicate to me you have some non-standard stuff in your build
environment, and perhaps you are picking up a different compiler or
library, perhaps the intel compiler? If you are trying to compile
with the intel compiler, you may need to set the CC and CXX
environment variables to make sure you are using the c++ compiler.
If you can use g++, you are more likely to have success. Before
building, I suggest

  export CC=gcc
  export CXX=g++

You might also try and remove the CFLAGS that are causing the "visual
numerics" include flags to set.

Do you have SWIG installed?
