Installation of tioga

[Axel Etzold]

Dear all,

when installing tioga

http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/tioga.html,

I get a cannot read symbol, bad value error (see below).
I tried the gem and QUICK_INSTALL and HOME_INSTALL
variants.
Has somebody else had this problem ? How did they solve it -
change compilation flags for -fPIC ?

Best regards,

Axel

wouldn't it make more sense to write on the tioga user's mailing list
or file a bug on their rubyforge project?

Dear Ryan,
nice to know that there is a special user's mailing list. I missed that.

Best regards,
