[Fwd: Re: siso_ldpc_fast_mex.mex is not a valid shared library!]

[Honore Tapamo]

Dear John,

Thank you for your email.

I am porting octave and the MPITB on the IBM BlueGene system. I built
everything statically as the Bluegene/L system I am on does not support
shared libraries.

I built a static version of the MPITB and so far everything work fine. The
problem I am having is when I call a mex function.

I created a static version of the mex function using the "-static"
compiler option.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you need more information. I really
appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Honore.
