Programming PARI/GP in library mode [PROBLEM] !?!

Hi all,

I am tired with PARI/GP packages. I don't know whats the problem. The following should be executed normally.

I installed the following packages libpari2-gmp libpari-dev

as well as pari-gp

#include <pari.h> int main() { pari_init(100000,0); return 0; }

and all what I got is an error messages (the main one: No such file or directory for pari.h)

Can you help me please and show me step by step how to make this done? Do I need to add linkage between my app. and the library?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like installing those packages places all those header files in /usr/local/include/pari. Go ahead and check to see if that's true for you. I just copied all those headers to /usr/local/include, and I was able to compile a test document using g++ successfully. I also added the -lpari flag to g++. Here's my source for the test code:

#include<pari.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){

 pari_init(10000000, 1000000);

 return 0;

}

The above compiles successfully with the command:

g++ test.cpp -lpari

Of course, test.cpp is the name of the source file. By the way I've been driving myself crazy with this all night, so don't feel like you're the only one! :-)
