Just to be clear, I am working with Slackware 14.2 32 bit. I am working on putting together a SlackBuild script for lxi-tools 1.16 (BTW, the script works perfectly on Current). The problem isn't in the script but rather in the 'configure' script. Here is how the package searches for libreadline in configure.ac:
AC_CHECK_LIB([readline], [readline], [], [AC_MSG_ERROR(libreadline not found)]) And the failure when running 'configure': checking whether the gcc linker (/usr/i586-slackware-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes checking whether to build shared libraries... yes checking whether to build static libraries... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... no configure: error: libreadline not found Here is what is recorded in 'config.log': configure:12811: checking for readline in -lreadline configure:12836: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lreadline >&5 /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:12836: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "lxi-tools" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "lxi-tools" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.16" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "lxi-tools 1.16" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | #define PACKAGE_URL "https://lxi-tools.github.io" | #define PACKAGE "lxi-tools" | #define VERSION "1.16" | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRING_H 1 | #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1 | #define LT_OBJDIR ".libs/" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error. | Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | char readline (); | int | main () | { | return readline (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:12845: result: no configure:12855: error: libreadline not found The /usr/lib/libreadline.so symbolic link points to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6 which itself is a symlink to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6.3. Using 'readelf', I can confirm what is in 'config.log': 83: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tputs 144: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tgoto 248: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tgetflag 268: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND UP 274: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tgetent 307: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tgetnum 547: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND PC 618: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND tgetstr 750: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND BC It doesn't look like libreadline has a missing dependent library: $ ldd /usr/lib/libreadline.so linux-gate.so.1 (0xb77a2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb759b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77a3000) What puzzles me is that this package built cleanly on an up-to-date Current 64 system, but fails here. I don't see a remarkable difference between the symbol tables, so I at a loss. Hopefully someone has met this before and can provide some clues. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
