Hi everybody!

IDL's fft() is very slow to me. I tried to use fftw (http://
www.fftw.org/). I'v read
next (http://www.mpia-hd.mpg.de/~hippler/tip3_fftw_idl_6.html):
"Download the fftw package (fftw-3.1.2.tar.gz) from www.fftw.org and
configure it with ./configure the following way (this is taken from
instructions written by Henry Chapman, and found in the comp.lang.idl-
pwave newsgroup):
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------
1) Create a shared, multi threaded, single precision library
./configure --enable-shared --enable-threads --enable-float
make
make install

2) Create a shared, single precision library
./configure --enable-shared --enable-float
make
make install

3) Create a shared, multi-threaded, double precision library
./configure --enable-shared --enable-threads
make
make install

4) Create a static, double precision library
./configure
make
make install

5) Build the system wide wisdom file (this took about 3 hours on my
machine)
fftw-wisdom -v -c -o wisdom
cp -p wisdom /etc/fftw

6) Get fftw.c, Makefile_fftw, and fftw.dlm and build fftw.so with:
make -f Makefile_fftw

7) Copy fftw.so and fftw.dlm to the IDL !DLM_PATH, ie:
cp -p fftw.so fftw.dlm /usr/local/rsi/idl//bin/bin.linux.x86_64

8) Before testing fftw with IDL make sure that the fftw libraries are
in the libraries search path, ie:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib "
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------

But when i run make -f Makefile_fftw i get:

cc -I/usr/local/itt/idl70/external/include -I/usr/local/include -
c -fPIC fftw.c -o fftw.o
fftw.c: In function 'fftwf_init':

What is the problem? I use Debian 2.6.18-1-686 and IDL 7.0.
Maybe there exist more easy way to speed up fft or to use fftw?
Thank you!
