I have been following the instructions and everything has been going great.

i am on the ./configure step for showeq. It keeps dying saying it can't find libEQ.a. I have verified that only one copy exists (and its the current one). It is currently in /usr/local/lib

Do I need to update a path somewhere to include that directory?

also, my libEQ.a file is only 58 bytes.. is that correct?

thanks for any info!

Your libEQ is not valid if it is only 58 bytes. Download one from a location specified in the README.libEQ in your download directory. Do an "md5sum libEQ.a" on the file you download, and make sure the output is the same at the md5sum listed on the top of the front page for these forums. That way you can guarantee that you have the version the developers have released for use with ShowEQ.

no, that is not the right size for the libEQ.a. also, i'm not sure if /usr/local/lib is part of the library search path. i put mine in /usr/lib personally.

You need to make sure that gcc is symbolicly linked to gcc-3.0 and cpp is symboliclylinked to cpp-3.0 or ./configure will fail on libEQ.a

cd /usr/bin
rm gcc
rm cpp
ln -s gcc-3.0 gcc
ln -s cpp-3.0 cpp

Make sure you have cpp3 and gcc3 installed, which you should otherwise you shouldn't have gotten this far.

Um if his libEQ.a is only 58 bytes that definately one problem. Lets take this one step at a time, it's easier to follow that way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
yeah Fryfrog already posted that... But Lokust said his libEQ.a was 58 bytes ;)
