   gcov coverage woes
  I'm trying to profile / code coverage some fortran code under Ubuntu 8.10. When I try to link ld says it cannot find -lgcov.Googling has come up short. Any examples either don't explicitly link against lgcov.   
  Have you got libgcov.a installed on your system? It's provided by package gcc-4.2 on my 8.04 system.   ;  Does not appear to be, but I have pacakge gcc-4.3 base installed...   ;  tried installing gcc-4.2 base, no luck. any ideas on how to get it?   ;Quote:Original post by _Sigmatried installing gcc-4.2 base, no luck. any ideas on how to get it?gcc-4.2-base only contains a few files and directory definitions common to the other gcc packages. It's not a meta package used to install all the others. Try installing gcc-4.2 by itself.   ;  Didn't make a difference. I've moved to a non VM linux install and all of a sudden I can find a gprof library in synaptic that looks like it should solve the problem - no idea why the VM version chokes on this...Thanks for the help!
