Hi,

  as Gerhard already replied, there's nothing to be worried about: the
'install' routine is apparently not supported, but Math::Pari does not
require it.

OTOH, I would have expected it to work; doesn't Darwin support dlopen ? Does
'man dlopen' mention anything exotic that would prevent both

  /usr/bin/gcc  -O3 config/has_dlopen.c

  /usr/bin/gcc  -O3 config/has_dlopen.c -ldl

from compiling ? (that's $CC $CFLAGS ..., expanded from your log) What is the
output from these two commands ?

BTW, could you send me your processor and clock speed so that I can update
the MACHINES file ? (no entry for Darwin yet)

Thanks,

    Karim.

This is a stupid mistake on my part: I left a pari.tgz archive with this typo
on the megrez server for a few hours [need to change `double' to 'double' in
Configure] before making the official announcement. It was corrected in the
"official" release (CVS tag release-2-1-2) a few hours later. You must have
grabbed it in the meantime...

Anyway, it didn't affect the Configure process, it's just aesthetically
unpleasant.
