Any help appreciated.

It looks like possibly two problems.

First, I'll assume the undefined references to xml... functions are from libxml2. Try installing libxml2 and libxml2-dev:


sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev

Then try again.

Second, if it still doesn't work (you still get "undefined reference to `floor'") - they didn't like against libm in their Makefile. It's an easy mistake to make as some systems link to it automatically. So there should be a "-lm" after "-ldl -lpthread". You might try adding it manually.

I already had the above two libraries installed so that didn't help. I'm still getting undefined references to xml's. Additionally, in the makefile, there is "-lm" after "-lpthread" but there's no "-ldl" anywhere. Any thoughts?

It seems to be a link order issue - you can see from the gcc command line that it is linking libxml2 before libpips-utils.so

I'm new to linux so I don't really know what that means. What should I do?

[steeldriver]

You could edit /home/patrick/pips-common-3.0/Core/pips-filter and change



pips_filter_LDADD = \
-lstdc++ \
${top_builddir}/libltdl/libltdlc.la \
-lxml2 \
$(top_srcdir)/Core/libutils/libpips-utils.la


to



pips_filter_LDADD = \
-lstdc++ \
${top_builddir}/libltdl/libltdlc.la \
$(top_srcdir)/Core/libutils/libpips-utils.la \
-lxml2 \
-lm


You will probably need to do the same (apart from the addition of the math library -lm, which seems to be an issue only for the Core/pips-filter component) to the corresponding _LDADD variables in all the other subordinate Makefiles.

However after doing all that there were other errors... at which point I gave up.
