How do I know if Fftw is installed?
To check whether a library is installed correctly, you’d usually try building a program using it. make check runs tests in the build tree, not on the installed files. In your case they passed, which is good, but it’s not sufficient to ensure you’ll be able to build software using FFTW.
How do I install FFTW?
The ” make install ” command installs the fftw and rfftw libraries in standard places, and typically requires root privileges (unless you specify a different install directory with the –prefix flag to configure ). You can also type ” make check ” to put the FFTW test programs through their paces.
Locating Shared Libraries in Linux. Shared libraries are loaded by ld.so (or ld.so.x) and ld-linux.so (or ld-linux.so.x) programs, where x is the version. In Linux, /lib/ld-linux.so.x searches and loads all shared libraries used by a program. A program can call a library using its library name or filename, and a library path stores directories
What are the names of the shared libraries?
Shared Library Names Every shared library has a special name called the “soname”. The soname has the prefix “lib”, the name of the library, the phrase “.so”, followed by a period and a version number that is incremented whenever the interface changes (as a special exception, the lowest-level C libraries don’t start with “lib”).
How to check if a library is installed in Linux?
One command that usually works is: $ ldconfig -p | grep library For instance, to check for the existence of libuuid you can do: $ ldconfig -p | grep libuuid
Shared libraries must be placed somewhere in the filesystem. Most open source software tends to follow the GNU standards; for more information see the info file documentation at info:standards#Directory_Variables.
