installation on OS X 10.7
Posted: 26 Jun 2012, 12:33
I'm trying to install polymake for someone who has been unable to do it on their own. I personally have no idea what polymake is for or what it does, but I know how to install software.
That said, I cannot for the life of me get this thing going. Even simply following the noodly appendages of the hacked flowchart that is the installation instructions has been maddening, so I'm turning to you guys to maybe restart from square one.
Initially, I tried to compile polymake without fink. Hours later, I realized this is nigh impossible.
So, I uninstalled all the stuff I managed to successfully install, then tried again with fink.
Hours later, I got all of the prerequisites installed, but polymake still won't compile, neither 2.11 with the patch nor 2.12 without it. I've tried 3 different gcc versions, but no dice.
The binary installation allegedly doesn't work for 10.7. I see there is supposed to be some sort of "app", but there's nothing in any of the folders labeled "apps" that looks appy.
So.
Let's start over.
What should I be doing to make this work? Which version should I try?
The place where I last gave up is this...fink is installed, along with all the necessary packages (maybe).
./configure output for 2.12 says:
"fink install gmp" doesn't work because there's no package called gmp, but I did install gmp5. Is this the problem, or another wild goose chase?

./configure output for 2.12 says:
Code: Select all
Could not compile a test program checking for the GNU Multiprecision Library (GMP).
The most probable reasons are that the library is installed at a non-standard location,
lacking developer's subpackage or missing at all.
Please refer to the installation instructions at http://polymake.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/doku.php/howto/install.
