Help installing FreeHDL

Has anybody had any luck installing FreeHDL from

http://www.freehdl.seul.org/

It is a digital simulation program that works with QUCS which is an
electrical circuit simulator.

I can compile it and install it using the normal:
./configure
make
sudo make install

It installs the program files in /usr/local/…

When I try to run it I get an error that it can not find a library file
libfreehdl-vaul.so.0 which is located in /usr/local/lib/

I checked my configuration in /etc/ld.so.conf and it has a line pointing
to the directory:

/usr/local/lib

My configuration is openSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4, and uname -a gives:

Linux linux-suse 2.6.34.10-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-07-20
18:48:56 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I know it is being used on other distributions so I am probably setting
it up wrong. I have had no luck searching on the web and do not know
where to go from here.

Thank you for any help.

Hi
Looks like the file needs some patching on OBS, will branch and look at
it tomorrow for you;

Thank you very much for looking into this.

Hi
I’m down to the last couple of errors.

I had a thought, as root user run;


/sbin/ldconfig

This may help your manual install to recognize the library location.

That got me further, but it still fails now with:

linker: libtool: link: specify a tag with `–tag’
gvhdl: Linking failed!
Died at /usr/local/bin/gvhdl line 276.
