Hi Stephane, good day

I downloaded the source of release 2.4.0 and compiled on my ubuntu 14.04 machine using ./autogen.sh + ./configure. (I had to download lbfgs.f in order to be able to compile the library though)

After compiling and installing the library and installing the python module, I tried to run one of the tests in the test folder: test_data.py

There seems to be no _core.py inside the spanlib folder. Could you please let me know If I am doing something wrong?

Thank you

@stefraynaud I had no problem installing spanlib in the Python 2.7 version of CDAT 8.1, but I'm having the same kind of endless guru meditation when trying to install into the Python 3 version of CDAT 8.1 as what I described for vacumm in VACUMM/vacumm#15

I guess the current/standard version of spanlib is for Python 2.7 only

You may want to mention this on https://github.com/stefraynaud/spanlib

Note that installing with conda is not mentioned on the spanlib pages. For Python 2.7, I have successfully used conda install -n my_python_env -c stefraynaud -c conda-forge spanlib. You may want to mention this somewhere. I don't remember if I found out about this by myself a long time ago, or if you told me about it

first of all, there is no "configure" script in the package directory; and I use autogen.sh to create it. note that I had to rename configure.in to configure.ac and add a line of "AC_PROG_F77" in order to make it work.

then when I run make, I got the following errors:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/hyan/tmp/spanlib/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `lbfgs.f', needed by `lbfgs.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hyan/tmp/spanlib/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

any idea how to make it work? thanks
