I've tried installing the C-API on another machine today. I don't have
root permissions on this machine, so I called configure using prefix=$PWD
I got the following warnings:
config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir
setting
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: WARNING: test/Makefile.in seems to ignore the
--datarootdir setting

config.status: executing depfiles commands
Building handle admin support: yes
Building perl module: yes

`make' worked fine, but when I tried to run `make install', I got the
following warning:
*************

I found the shared library file hdllib.so in
[...]/handle_c_api/hcc-5.3.3/perl/blib/arch/auto/hdllib.
I added a symbolic link to it named `libhdl.so', so using `-lhdl' would
work. I don't know if it's possible to link with a shared library that
doesn't follow this convention; I'd have to look it up. I set
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH' and `LIBRARY_PATH' (just to be sure) and the linker
seemed to find the shared library file. However, when I called
gcc -I/home/gwdg1/GWDG/lfinsto/handle_c_api/hcc-5.3.3/include/hdl -lhdl
hsaddvals.c
I got the following errors:
/tmp/ccO8WT7n.o(.text+0x154): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `HDLAddValues'
/home/gwdg1/GWDG/lfinsto/handle_c_api/hcc-5.3.3/perl/blib/arch/auto/hdllib/libhdl.so:

[...]
This would seem to fit in with these perl things (whatever they are) not
being installed in the proper place. I took a look at the `Makefile.am'
files, but it was not immediately apparent to me what was causing the
problem.
It would seem that it's only possible to install the package if one has
root permissions and can write to the `/usr/lib/perl5/[...]'.
Would it be possible for someone to fix this, or does anyone know a way to
work around this problem?
Thanks,
Laurence

I feel ambitious, I may try to figure out what's going wrong.
Otherwise, unless someone has an idea, I'll just use the Java API.
Thanks again,
