Hi,

there is a problem, if you are using XWIN-NMR 3.5
(maybe older releases too) and the newest Linux
distributions. At least this is valid for SuSE 8.2
and as far as I know for RedHat 9.0 and Mandrake
9.1 too.

The problem:

If you try to compile an AU program you get an
error somewhat like

/opt/xwinnmr/gnu/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value:
14.


The workaround (from Werner Mausshardt):

1. Make a copy of makeau
   su (and password)
   cd /opt/xwinnmr/exp/stan/nmr/au
   cp makeau makeau.bak

2. Get a new version of makeau
   ftp hermes.org.chemie.tu-muenchen.de
     use ftp as login name and your email address as password
   get makeau
   chmod 775 makeau

3. Create a symbolic link
   cd /opt/xwinnmr/prog/shlib
   ln -s libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 libstdc++.so

4. and leave the super user mode now
   exit

Instead of /opt/xwinnmr use your XWINNMRHOME if you
didn't used the standard directories for the installation.
If the above attempt fails, copy makeau.bak back
to makeau and remove the symbolic link
(cd /opt/xwinnmr/prog/shlib; rm libstdc++.so).
The whole procedure requires, that you installed the
C compilers from your distribution.

Many success

Rainer
