Can't find include file stddef.h

I am attempting to use PGI Workstation 5.2 on a dual operton system running Fedora Core 3 x86_64. I am using an evaluation license created by the install program.

I installed the program in “/tmp/usr/pgi”. I get this message when I attmpt to compile a hello world program----

[root@ionic pgroup]# export PGI=/tmp/usr/pgi/
[root@ionic pgroup]# export LM_LICENSE_FILE=/tmp/usr/pgi/license.dat
[root@ionic bin]# ./pgcc test.c
PGC-F-0206-Can’t find include file stddef.h (/usr//include/stdio.h: 34)
PGC/x86-64 Linux/x86-64 5.2-4: compilation aborted

test.c contents —
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{for(;;){printf (“Hello World!\n”);}}

I read the release notes and noticed that there were issues with FC3, so I downloaded fedora3_patch.tar.gz and reinstalled, following the instructions inside. I still get the same error (can’t find include file stddef.h)

I tried to manually tell pgcc the include directories that hold stddef.h as well as the types and bits mentioned in the FC3 patch notes----------

[root@ionic bin]# ./pgcc test.c -I/tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/include/ -I/tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/include/CC -I/tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/include/bits/ -I/tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/include/sys/
PGC-F-0206-Can’t find include file stddef.h (/tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/include/CC/stddef.h: 28)
PGC/x86-64 Linux/x86-64 5.2-4: compilation aborted

----------but I get a very similar error

My system was installed using the “install” script in linux86-64.tar.gz. I have similar systems running FC2 and PGI 5.2 that do not have this problem so it seems like there is still some problem with FC3 that I may have missed.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,


When you reinstalled, the makelocalrc script either didn’t get run or errored. Try going to the bin directory and running the command by hand.

makelocalrc -x /tmp/usr/pgi/linux86-64/5.2

The resulting localrc file should look something like this:

cat bin/localrc
set LFC=-lg2c;
set LDSO=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2;
set GCCDIR=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.2;
set GCCINC=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.2/include;
set G77DIR=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.2;
set THROW=__THROW=;

The stddef.h header file is located in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.2/include so if the “GCCINC” directory is not set correctly, it wont be able to find the file.

Thanks for the help.

I ended up just starting from scratch, following the instructions specific for FC3 and installing again. I had better luck this time, so I probably made some mistake involving the makelocalrc file.


Thanks again
