Compiling a local version of CMISS on a Mandrake 10 Linux system
When compiling a local version of CMISS on a Mandrake 10.0 I found that the compiler looks for a c++ library and hence does not complete the compile. You need to change where the compiler is looking for the library.
BEFORE: ARCHIVE_DIRS += /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.2 --- AFTER: ARCHIVE_DIRS += /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.3.2

If you want to build the perl_interpreter from source you will need to install the perl-devel package which is not included in the base distribution. Alternatively you can use a binary copy of a perl_interpreter library. CMISS_ROOT/perl_interpreter/lib/YOUR_OS/lib*.a and CMISS_ROOT/perl_interpreter/lib/YOUR_OS/lib*-debug.a
