Configuration fails since 'No fftw_malloc in -lfftw3'

[yonatansmn]

I try to configure C code as follows:
./configure --with-fftw=/usr/local/fftw-3.3.6-pl2/
But I receive the error stated in the title.
I've tried adding the lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and configure it with -L.

Thanks for the help

This indicates an installation problem with your FFTW3 library. Perhaps you inadvertently disabled this at configuration time. I note there is a --with-our-malloc configure option. The latest version of FFTW3
is 3.3.8, so this would be a good time to upgrade. Here are the configuration options that I use:

configure --enable-sse2 --enable-shared --prefix=/usr --enable-mpi --enable-openmp --disable-fortran --enable-avx2

You are strongly recommended to use fftw_malloc:
