metis can not find GKlib

[Cfather]

Hi, I have had this issue when compiling.

Before that I have issues when compiling spral with CUDA (cuda_runtime_api.h not found). I followed the instructions in this previous issue, where I run the following command:

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/include

The make process is able to run with issues with CUDA or NVCC, but then run into the following issues, where metis can not find some functions in GKlib.
However, I have confirmed that GKlib has been compiled and installed also in /usr/local/lib.
I wonder if anyone has run into similar issues and would like to help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Hi, is there a reason you are compiling your own METIS rather than using the one that ships with almost every Linux distribution? E.g. on ubuntu you can just install METIS by doing apt install libmetis-dev.

Closing as the autotools build system was removed in #239 in favour of meson.
