Subject: Running into a problem compilation an application on linux.

I was trying to compile an application on porteus linux

gcc -Wall -O xyz.c -lpci -o xyz

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld:
 cannot find -lpci
collect2: error ld returned 1 exit status

Can you please help me resolve this.

Thanks,
OMK

This is not really a kernel question, but it would appear your system does not 
have the PCI development library (cannot find –lpci). First you’ll need to find 
out which package management system slackware uses (there’s 2 popular ones; 1) 
Redhat’s rpm system and 2) debian). Once you’ve determined that you will want 
to read up on how to get and install packages and install the PCI development 
package on your system.
