But when I searched for some of them with 'strings' they are present in one or other of the /usr/lib/libnl-*.so libs.
Tried running ldconfig, but that didn't help. Before that, I had the NM testsuite looking reasonable with libnl-3.2.3 (several CRITICAL assertion failures, but each time the associated test reported SUCCESS). I'll sleep on this, to see if I get any ideas - at the moment my stock of 'try this' and 'try googling for XX' thoughts is empty after tracking down the bugs in p11-kit and gnome-keyring that were causing the testsuite to have problems even once I'd found which Python modules it needed. Particularly since 3.2.3 is apparently NOT ok for iproute2, I need to think about this a bit more. Maybe we'll just go with a newer version in BLFS - libnl-3 is *supposed* to make installing multiple versions easier, but I'm not sure I'd know what to test. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
