Polymake 2.14r1 doesn't start after compilation

[mws]

I just downloaded Polymake 2.14r1 and installed it without any errors (so it seems at least) on my up-to-date Arch Linux system. When I try to start it I get the error message

Code: Select all

Loading applications now...polymake: ERROR: Corrupt or incomplete installation: shared module /usr/local/lib/polymake/bundled/cdd/lib/fan.so missing

Before I was running Polymake 2.15 without any problems.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Please say precisely what you did. Did you compile from the sources?

Which is your C++ compiler? Which is your Perl version? Did the latter change after you installed your previous polymake?

Do you really mean polymake 2.15? That would be a beta available from github only.

Try to remove your .polymake folder in your home directory and try again.

I compiled Polymake 2.14r1 from the source code available on polymake.org. The compilation finished without any errors (that's what it reported at least).

As a C++ compiler I am using clang version 3.6.2. My perl version is perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0). Perl did not change between the successful build of 2.15 and the not so successful build of 2.14r1; the same is true for all other libraries that polymake uses.

Deleting ~/.polymake I had already tried. It did not resolve the issue.

And, yes, I mean 2.15. I had to use it because 2.14 wouldn't compile with an up-to-date perl.

Hi,

please try removing /usr/local/lib/polymake and /usr/local/share/polymake, then run make install again in the source folder. It might be due to some files that were moved from the core into application fan of bundled/cdd for the 2.15 beta.

Deleting /usr/local/share/polymake did the trick.

Thanks, Benjamin & Michael!
