[EMBOSS] EMBASSY on EMBOSS 3.0.0 on RHEL WS 4

[George Magklaras]

Hi,

Note: I realize this is EMBASSY, but I thought about dropping a note to 
you folks, as I am sure it is very likely you have seen this.

After compiling separately zlib (1.2.3), libpng (1.2.8) and gd (2.0.33), 
I did a flawless EMBOSS 3.0.0 installation, and most embassy packages 
also compile properly. However, make on the  PHYLIP-3.6b package quits 
with the following error message in response to the configure and make:

./configure --prefix=/mn/biotin/site --with-pngdriver=/mn/biotin/site/lib

then make and I get the error:
.
.
.
gcc -O2 -o fconsense consense.o cons.o phylip.o 
-L/mn/biotin/site/lib/lib -L/mn/biotin/site/lib 
/mn/biotin/site/lib/libnucleus.so /mn/biotin/site/lib/libajax.so 
/mn/biotin/site/lib/libplplot.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib 
/mn/biotin/site/lib/libgd.so -L/usr/lib -lXpm -lX11 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so 
-lfontconfig /usr/lib/libfreetype.so -lpng12 -lpng -lz -lm
/mn/biotin/site/lib/libz.a(compress.o)(.text+0xa0): In function `compress':
: multiple definition of `compress'
cons.o(.text+0x4e0): first defined here
/usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `compress' changed from 326 in 
cons.o to 163 in /mn/biotin/site/lib/libz.a(compress.o)



As far as I can see, the config log indicates that the cmd line got the 
options and the relevant libraries were found:
checking if png driver is wanted... yes
checking for inflateEnd in -lz... yes
checking for png_destroy_read_struct in -lpng... yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... yes
PNG libraries found

My compiler is:
biotin.uio.no# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix 
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit 
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk 
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1)



Is this a library mix and match problem, or do I need another 
compiler...or...?

Best Regards,
GM
