[yt-users] yt installation script fails with the message "usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s".

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Prasanth,

(As a note, even though you weren't subscribed, your message did make
it through earlier.  I've copy/pasted my earlier response below.)

This looks like it is trying to build a shared library using g77,
which as I recall is a bit of a known issue.  Could you apt-get
install gfortran, remove the $YT_DEST/src/nump-* directory and then
re-run the install script?  It will refrain from building any of the
other component parts.

Thanks,

Matt
