[Norman Khine]

i am trying to build nodejs on freebsd9, and get a warning:

Checking for library dl  : not found

Checking for fdatasync(2) with c++   : no

could someone point me where these libraries are?

thanks norman

FreeBSD's libc provides dlopen(), dlclose(), etc-- there's no need for a 
separate libdl to do dynamic loading.

fdatasync(2) is a cheaper version of fsync(2) which does not try to update 
filesystem metadata; using soft updates with FreeBSD's  UFS2 filesystem already 
provides most of the benefits.  So you don't need that either, just call 
fsync() instead.
