collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am trying to build latest version but I got this error. Any sugestion?
I am following these instructions:
http://gmat.ed-pages.com/wiki/Building+on+Linux

Can you try the instructions here?

http://li394-117.members.linode.com:809 ... ing+on+Mac

They were written for Mac, but they are very close to the Linux method. The instructions you found are very old and outdated.

It still does not work... I've tried everything I could but I still get the same error.

Oh, I see, you're building the console executable. This isn't a required part of GMAT (the GUI is primary), which is probably why the build isn't working right now. Do you specifically want to use to the console version?

I just want it running on my Ubuntu...
I excluded console from the build but there are much more errors, the MakeFiles of plugins are completely broken...

On Linux, the operating system does not automatically search the current directory for shared libraries. The problem is likely that you need to set the load library path before trying to start the application. I just built the console app (it builds fine when the system is configured correctly), and when I try to run it without setting the path, here is what I see:

Code: Select all

$ ./GmatConsole
./GmatConsole: error while loading shared libraries: libGmatBase.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, if I type this line first, setting the load library path:

Code: Select all

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

then the application loads correctly:

Code: Select all

$ ./GmatConsole
