error installing sundials

[rajeev2010]

I have installed Sundials successfully on my laptop running ubuntu. However on a server running opensuse, upon giving Pkg.add("Sundials") I get the following error. I checked the directory ~/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64 and all the shared libraries seem to be there.

==============================[ ERROR: Sundials ]===============================

Provider BuildProcess failed to satisfy dependency libsundials_idas
while loading /home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 32

================================================================================

================================[ BUILD ERRORS ]================================

WARNING: Sundials had build errors.

 - packages with build errors remain installed in /home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3
 - build a package and all its dependencies with `Pkg.build(pkg)`
 - build a single package by running its `deps/build.jl` script

Have you tried to run Pkg.build("Sundials") after restarting Julia? Could you provide a listing of the files in ~/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64?

I did try Pkg.build("Sundials") but I get the same error. The files in sundials library are -

As a workaround you could probably create deps/deps.jl manually (or copy the one from your Ubuntu machine). It should probably look like this

macro checked_lib(libname, path)
        (dlopen_e(path) == C_NULL) && error("Unable to load \n\n$libname ($path)\n\nPlease re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
        quote const $(esc(libname)) = $path end
    end
@checked_lib libsundials_cvode "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_cvode"
@checked_lib libsundials_cvodes "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_cvodes"
@checked_lib libsundials_idas "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_idas"
@checked_lib libsundials_ida "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_ida"
@checked_lib libsundials_kinsol "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_kinsol"
@checked_lib libsundials_nvecserial "/home/rajeev/.julia/v0.3/Sundials/deps/usr/lib64/libsundials_nvecserial"

Uups, wrong button ...

[tkelman]

This is BinDeps having trouble with the lib64 thing on OpenSuse - https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/issues/52

Try Pkg.checkout("BinDeps") then restart Julia and run Pkg.build("Sundials") again

This last suggestion worked. Thanks.

@rajeev2010 : Good to hear that it works now. @tkelman : Thanks for the quick help!
