Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, My recent experience of configure failing to find -lgd with contemporary CVS ntop on FreeBSD systems may be helpful to some.
libgd is packaged in two versions:- gd1 (eg gd-1.8.4,2) gd2 (eg gd-2.0.15) I am pretty sure that FreeBSD distinguishes the libraries by tagging them with the version number when they are installed. Thus the library file names are libgd1.so and libgd2.so. This means that ntops configure, which uses -lgd, to compile the gd library check will _not_ find the libgd1 library (and thus configure will fail to advance past the gd checks). An obvious, and for all I know wrong workaround, is to sym link libgd.so to libgd1.so and to have ldconfig regenerate the hints fine (ldconfig -r on FreeBSD). Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
