Hi,
I'm trying to compile a programme called ``Dasher'' from source, which
requires Expat (which I do have installed according to pkg_info and
ldconfig -rv). However, it fails when I configure it:
sh configure --prefix=3D/usr/local --exec-prefix=3D/usr/local
with:
checking for XML_Parse in -lexpat... no
configure: error: Expat library not found.
the config.log shows:
configure:6789: cc -o conftest -O2 -pipe -march=3Dpentiumpro
conftest.c -l expat >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat
configure:6792: $? =3D 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 6764 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.
char XML_Parse ();
#ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN
# ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
# endif
int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; }
#endif
int
main ()
{
XML_Parse ();
;
return 0;
}
configure:6809: result: no
configure:6819: error: Expat library not found.
I hope somebody might be able to help with this problem :) Sorry if
it's something really silly (I have never fully understood ld, ldconfig
and libraries). Thanks very much,
-lewiz.
