ld: library not found for -lgsl - macos

I'm working in OSX and I'm attempting to run a make file and when I try I get the following:
ld: library not found for -lgsl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [harm] Error 1
Earlier I found out the I needed to get the gsl library and I used mac ports and typed:
sudo port install gsl
into my command line window and it seemed to isntall okay. Is the missing lgsl not configured correctly or does it not come with gsl? I tried googling lgsl but didn't get much. I've only been at programming a few days and I don't know if I was supposed to set a path, or even really how to do that.
Thanks for any help you guys could offer.

I just wanted to say that I had the exact problem on OSX. Rather than setting an environment variable, I used an additional compiler flag -L/opt/local/lib, which then lets one use -lgsl. I reference this answer.

I got the same issue and here is how I fixed it:
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/lib/
I had previously installed gsl using:
brew install gsl

You need to add the path for where the macports installed the gsl library to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (or most likely into the build script environment). I believe macports stores things in /opt/local/lib

What is the meaning of 'ld: library not found for -lm'

I'm a beginner at Fortran code. I install gfortran from the homebrew to my apple silicon mac. The path show in the terminal when I type which fortran is /opt/homebrew/bin/gfortran
I try to use bash shell to run a 'hello world' fortran file on the Desktop (.f90 file). I typed the following command in the terminal. gfortran prog01_01.f90. But it does not work. The error says: ld: library not found for -lm and collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status. I have no idea how to deal with this problem.
Can anyone please help me this out?
This means that the compiler cannot find the basic mathematical library libm. It should normally be included in your GLIBC or other standard C library installation and be available in the appropriate library directories and I would expect that your package manager would complain that something is missing.
Anyway, you simply have to fix your software installation, we cannot tell you more without details about your system and your software packages. You can try to install GLIBC if you did not install it yet.

Error while trying trying to run make command

I am trying to install a program and when I run make or make -f Makefile (following the installation instructions) I get the following output:
g77 -O5 -Wall -c prep_output.f -o prep_output.o
dyld: Symbol not found: ___keymgr_global
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/g77
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
make: *** [prep_output.o] Abort trap: 6
I am working on a macOS Mojave 10.14.6. Following some other proposed solutions in similar problems, I've already installed Command line tools in my Xcode but that didn't do the trick. Any suggestions please??
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I got rid of g77 and installed a compatible version of gcc (gcc8) through MacPorts. After running the make command I get the following:
g77 -O5 -Wall -c prep_output.f -o prep_output.o
make: g77: No such file or directory
make: *** [prep_output.o] Error 1
So I guess the program still needs the g77 setup? This is the program btw ([http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/~arnouts/LEPHARE/install.html]). Is there a way to rely to the gfortran compiler for building the program?
Thanks in advance
P.S. I noticed that when I install g77 I get the following error:
x usr/local/: Can't set user=0/group=0 for usr/local`
`tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
However it still installs g77..
The error message indicates that your installation of g77 is broken. This has nothing to do with make or the particular project you're trying to build, except inasmuch as the project is trying to use g77 in the first place. That is a bit surprising, actually, since g77 has been obsolete for years (gfortran is the current GNU Fortran compiler), but I'm uncertain what exactly to expect from XCode in this area.
On the other hand, since the full path to the binary is /usr/local/bin/g77, I'm further inclined to think that you're not using XCode for this at all. Possibly you've dumped a g77 built on some other system into your /usr/local/bin, and it's not compatible with your Mojave system.
Your best bet is probably to
Get rid of your broken g77 installation.
Install Fink or MacPorts, or a similar project.
Install the Fink / MacPorts / whatever package for gfortran (maybe gcc-gfortran or similar in some of those) to get a working Fortran compiler.
Rely on that compiler to build your project.

fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found

I'm trying to compile my OpenMP program, but it doesn't work, this error message shows:
fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found
I've tried the solutions for this problem here, but nothing worked with me.
please help
I'm Mac user
You probably need to reinstall with:
brew reinstall gcc --without-multilib
Then you need to make sure you use the homebrew version of gcc (rather than anything Apple supplies) by running gcc-5 rather than plain gcc. You can check its name and version by running the following because homebrew normally always installs everything to /usr/local/bin:
ls /usr/local/bin/gcc*
Finally, you need to add the -fopenmp flag to your compiler invocation to tell the compiler to do the OpenMP thing.
So, your command will look like:
gcc-5 -fopenmp program.c -o program

Compiling WxWidgets on Mac OSX 10.10

I'm trying to compile WxWidgets 3.0.2 on my mac OSX 10.10
and I get the following message:
Blockquote
...
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [/Users/.../wxWidgets-3.0.2/build_rel/lib/libwx_osx_cocoau-3.0.0.2.0.dylib] Error 1
I'm compiling using these flags
../configure --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-version-min=10.7 --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk --prefix="$(pwd)" --with-opengl CC=clang CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11" OBJCXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11" LDFLAGS=-stdlib=libc++ --enable-universal-binary=x86_64 --enable-monolithic --enable-unicode --with-expat=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin --with-regex=builtin --with-libpng=builtin --with-libjpeg=builtin
As you can see I added the enable-universal-binary=x86_64 as suggested in other topics.
If you can suggest other flags that I might have not added or I should remove
that would be great..
Thanks
The other way:
brew install wxwidgets
you will get compiled wxWidgets in /usr/local/Cellar.
In principle, this should work, but what is the point of using --enable-universal-binary=x86_64? It's not universal if there is only a single architecture... You probably wanted to use --enable-macosx_arch=x86_64 instead.
BTW, I think the various stdlib-related options are unnecessary as well, clang is the default compiler under 10.10. And --enable-unicode is definitely superfluous.
If you need wx3.0.0 osx 10.7+ monolitic, shared library can get it from here wxphp stub bundle
Library is included in app/contents/resources , use it if you want. but you need headers c++, get it from wx side.
As posted here, you can use --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/ as a workaround. There is an fixed issue about it and will probably be released on 3.0.3.

configure: error: leptonica library missing (when building tesseract-ocr-3.01 on MinGW)

When running configure it fails with
checking for leptonica... yes
checking for pixCreate in -llept... no
configure: error: leptonica library missing
But I have leptonica 1.69 built (downloaded source and ran ./configure && make install)
Edit
I think configure: error: leptonica library missing is a bit misleading, please note that it first says checking for leptonica... yes, and then fails on checking for pixCreate in -llept... no. So maybe the problem is not that the library is missing, but something else.
I finally managed to make it compile, after reading this and this thread. The proper steps for were:
./autogen.sh
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=/local/include
./configure --with-extra-libraries=/local/lib
make install
for leptonica 1.69, lib renamed to .libs, so, parameters are
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=<your_path>/leptonica-1.69/src
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix= --with-extra-libraries=<your_path>/leptonica-1.69/src/.libs
and so on
Maybe this could solve the issue:
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=/usr-or-other/local/include
I am working on redhat linux 7.2 . None of the solution worked for me I was getting following errors in config.log. Package lept was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lept.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
configure script uses pkg-config utility to check for packages . It was not able to find lept package ( although i had installed leptonica seperately ) By setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to the directory where lept.pc is present , i was able to resolve the issue . export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
The FAQ addresses this issue and worked for me with tesseract 3.02.02 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Apart from the Leptonica library, png, jpeg, tiff libraries had to passed to the configure script with CXX and CPP flags.
To run configure as non-root -
1. LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=; export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR;
2. CXXFLAGS="-ltiff -lpng -ljpeg" CPPFLAGS="-ltiff -lpng -ljpeg" ./configure --prefix= --with-extra-libraries=
In my case, this issue was caused by a missing compiler. Searching config.log revealed the following:
./configure:17287: g++ -o conftest -I/Usr/local/include/leptonica -L/usr/local/lib conftest.cpp -llept >&5
./configure: line 2040: g++ command not found
Running apt-get install g++ solved the problem. There is an issue in the tesseract issue tracker about this.
In my case (for Ubuntu/Debian) I downloaded the latest leptonica version and the error was not fixed.
To fix it I removed the package "leptonica-dev" with sudo apt-get remove libleptonica-dev and then tesseract found the leptonica version installed from the source code.
Hope it helps!
The answer is going to be slightly different for everyone, depending on the state of your system.
At a high level, the pkg-config software needs to know that leptonica is installed. It searches paths for a .pc file that has the definition for the leptonica package. That file will be in different locations for different people.
You can find it using the Linux locate utility at the command line. locate lept.pc. (If you've done some recent installing/uninstalling, you may need to refresh the locate utilities database with the command updatedb.)
Whichever directory locate finds the file in, export PKG_CONFIG_PATH as that directory (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig for example).
Then you can continue your configure/build.
i had a similar problem with trying to compile from source, but did not experience it with
apt-get to install tesseract
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=$dir/letonica168/include
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$anotherdir --with-extra-libraries=/$dir/letonica168/lib
make
make install
