Dave;

Here's the last (and as far as I can see only) error message:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/william/tmp/gmsh-1.65.0/contrib/MathEval'
g++ -g -O2 -o bin/gmsh -Llib -lGmshFltk -lGmshParser -lGmshGraphics

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGmshFltk
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [link] Error 1

uname -a returns the following:
Linux tambotie 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 3
02:52:35 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What I did:
Unpacked the gmsh archive in 'tmp' in my home directory, then did
'./configure' which didn't complain about anything (except saying NO
to optional mesh software, which I don't need) and then I typed
'make'.

I can only guess that I have to specify a specific directory for
something in the variables file? I tried adding the -fPIC option to
the flags in variables, but this made no difference. The only
non-standard location on my system is the location of BLAS -- I use
ATLAS, and that's located in /usr/local/atlas, but is this relevant at
all?

Thanks for your help,
William
