Hello everyone,
I am Hollin Wilkins and new to this list. I am currently developing an
application that requires vector and matrix math, and I want to use the
GSL (currently using Meschach). I want to be able to do decimal arithmetic
(with _Decimal32 types), and it doesn't seem like the library currently
supports it. I would be willing to implement this functionality for
vectors, matrices and blocks, but I am running into a few problems getting
started, as I do not have much experience developing with Linux.
I keep on getting the following error when I try to run ./configure:
$ ./configure
./configure: line 1722: syntax error near unexpected token `gnu'
./configure: line 1722: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(gnu no-dependencies)'
My guess is that I have a bad version of automake or a missing dependency,
but I am not sure which.
Can anyone help with this problem? Does anyone see any problems with
developing a _Decimal32 implementation of the vectors, matrices, and
blocks?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Hollin
