[molpro-user] ctype_b

[Nick Wilson]

Dear Bernd,

These undefined references came about due to a change in how the c 
library dealt with locale. libc now uses __ctype_b_loc rather than 
__ctype_b. This problem has has been fixed with the patch 
2002.6.opteron_parse2 so if you do:

make -C utilities patcher.bootstrap
./patcher

then configure should start to work again.

Best wishes,
Nick Wilson
