[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#385630: libsundials-serial-dev: missing header and libraries

[Dennis Furey]

Package: libsundials-serial-dev
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The libsundials-nvecserial shared and static library files, and the
header file nvector_serial.h are missing, making it unusable for
development in C due to unresolved symbols (e.g., N_VNew_Serial,
etc.).

A cursory investigation has shown that the required files are
generated from the source package when the upstream build procedure is
followed, but don't appear under debian/tmp/ when the package is built
with dpkg-buildpackage. I'm unable to propose a patch. 

On a possibly related note, linking with kinsol gives the strange
warning,

libtool: link: warning: library 
`/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../
/libsundials_kinsol.la' was moved.

which might have something to do with the part in
libsundials_kinsol.la that says

# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/root/sundials/sundials/debian/tmp/usr/lib'

instead of saying /usr/lib/sundials.
