Hi Chris,

I downloaded  flex-devel-2.5.4a-1.i386.rpm from the web, and tried to install
it.

hwang66:/home/hwang # rpm -i flex-devel-2.5.4a-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        linux-gate.so.1 is needed by flex-devel-2.5.4a-1

when I issue:

hwang66:/home/hwang # ldd /bin/ls
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x40032000)
        libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x4003b000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40050000)

        libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x4017b000)

the linux-gate.so.1 seems to be there. also for some reason, it looks like Suse does not include flex-devel in their distributions.
have you ever compiled lfs using Suse ?

thanks




I think you mentioned you searched for flex but didn't find "flex-devel". Did you try searching specifically for "flex-devel"? If that doesn't work, here's one more possibility - go into YaST software installation, select the sort option "Package Groups", and go to the bottom of the list - "zzz All". Look through the whole alphabetical list - right after flex should be flex-devel (not the same thing as installing source code for flex).

I have successfully built lfs with SuSE, but that was with 9.1 and 9.2. I haven't used 9.3 so I don't know what might have changed.
