Building polymake 4.6 on Ubuntu 20.04, linking problems with flint

[ren]

I need some help to resolve following error when trying to compile polymake 4.6 on Ubuntu 20.04.3, does anybody know what may be the cause of it?

I have installed all dependencies listed on the installation page (https://polymake.org/doku.php/install/i ... rom_source) and also tried reinstall reinstalling `libflint-dev` using the package manager as well as building flint-2.5.2 from source.

Building without flint works fine.

Have you tried manually removing the (manual) flint installation from /usr/local?
I.e. deleting /usr/local/lib/libflint* and /usr/local/include/flint.
That should make sure that the package manager installation is used and at least give a different error message when building polymake.

For the manual installation please make sure that the shared library (libflint.so) is built in addition to / instead of the static library which is mentioned in the error message (you can try using ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared for flint).

That fixed the build problem, thanks!
