FC3 Program Installation

lonelydreamer · 01-04-2005, 03:29 PM

When i try to run make in the directory as the program instructs me, I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lidn
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [default] Error 1

How can i fix this?

Lonelydreamer,

I will assume you have downloaded a program archive, say 'program.tar.gz'. A typical installation procedure would look like:

Code:

su
cp /path/to/program.tar.gz /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src
tar zxf program.tar.gz
cd program  # or whatever directory the extraction process created
./configure
make
make install
