[SOLVED]make: *** [.obj/matrix.o] Error during installing a program

[ifonly]

Greetings all,

I am a newbie. I am trying to install a program and it spews out an error about the .obj/matrix.o file.

The output is quoted here:

g++ -c -m64 -pipe -g -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DGRASPIT_COLLISION -DQT_QT3SUPPORT_LIB -DQT3_SUPPORT -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include/Qt3Support -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/QtAssistantClient -I/usr/include/QtAssistant -I/usr/lib64/qt4/include -I/usr/local/Coin/include -Iqhull -Isrc -Isrc/Collision -Iinclude -Iinclude/math -Iinclude/Planner -Iinclude/EGPlanner -Iui -Iui/Planner -Iui/EGPlanner -Isrc/Collision/Graspit -Iui -Iui/Planner -Iui/EGPlanner -Itinyxml -I.moc -Iui -o .obj/matrix.o src/math/matrix.cpp

To be more specific, here lists more information:
OS: RHEL 6 /64bit
Kernel: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
Qt: Qt4
The program I was trying to install is a robot simulator which performs lots of matrix manipulation and linear system solving. I followed every step in the installation guide, except for this one:

On Ubuntu, all you need to do is install the following packages from the package manager:
libblas-dev
liblapack-dev

As shown above, I am using RHEL 6, which has different libraries with Ubuntu. I tried "yum search" and installed these libraries instead:
lapack.x86_64 : Numerical linear algebra package libraries
blas.x86_64 : The Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms library

For the last step, I issued make and got those errors. I searched online but found no related topics. I posted a thread in another forum but got no answers yet. Hope someone here would have some idea and give me some suggestions.

This has nothing to do with the platform or any installed packages. It has to do with the fact that the matrix.h header file is referencing stderr which has not been defined. IE, you need to #include <stdio.h> in matrix.h so stderr is appropriately declared/defined.

Thank you for pointing out. I solved the error in a slightly different way with what you said. I added
#include <cstdio>
in matrix.h. And it worked.
