Depends on the system. The gethostbyname function and some friends are needed. On Solaris one has to link with libnsl explicitly. It seems recent glibc versions also have a libnsl too. > Hmm, it seems that I have I thought it would be a part of glibc but > couldn't find the source... On my debian system: $ dpkg -S /lib/libnsl-2.2.5.so libc6: /lib/libnsl-2.2.5.so So I guess it's glibc. Checking the glibc source, it seems it corresponds to the glibc/nis directory. So then it shouldn't be needed for lsh. Try the below patch, it should make lsh not link with libnsl unless it's really needed. *** configure.ac.~1.17.~ Wed Oct 2 18:33:38 2002 --- configure.ac Wed Oct 2 21:08:09 2002 *************** *** 441,450 **** AC_CHECK_LIB(crypt, crypt) AC_CHECK_LIB(xnet, inet_addr) - AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl, gethostbyname) AC_CHECK_LIB(socket, setsockopt) # logwtmp is also in libutil AC_CHECK_LIB(util, openpty) # This macro is new in autoconf-2.13 AC_SEARCH_LIBS(syslog, bsd socket inet, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_SYSLOG)]) --- 441,452 ---- AC_CHECK_LIB(crypt, crypt) AC_CHECK_LIB(xnet, inet_addr) AC_CHECK_LIB(socket, setsockopt) # logwtmp is also in libutil AC_CHECK_LIB(util, openpty) + + # glibc has a nis-library "libnsl", which we don't need. + AC_SEARCH_LIBS(gethostbyname, nsl) # This macro is new in autoconf-2.13 AC_SEARCH_LIBS(syslog, bsd socket inet, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_SYSLOG)]) /Niels _______________________________________________ lsh-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/lsh-bugs
