I'm stuck on installing the dvipng package. As I encounter the problem of not finding libkpathsea even after I have installed it, I tried to followed in the instruction (http://www.nongnu.org/dvipng/dvipng_2.html#Build_002finstall):
On some machines, the libraries will be installed in directories that are not in the linker’s search path. This will generate an error when running ‘./configure’, indicating that it cannot find libgd or libkpathsea (most likely). You then need to specify the path to the respective library’s object files. They are typically called e.g., ‘libgd.a’ or ‘libgd.so’. If they are located in e.g., ‘/usr/local/lib’, do
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/libIf the library is available as a shared object file (‘.so’), the runtime linker may also need to be told where to find the library, then use
./configure LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib'
That's exactly my situation: I have installed the libraries of Latex and have ‘libgd.a’ or ‘libgd.so’ in my lib folder. However, when I try to run the code he mentioned, it's reported that:
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
and my config.log is:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by dvipng configure 1.9, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.60. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib
