Hope someone can point me in the right direction with this please.

I am a newbie trying to install the security app from chkrootkit.
I get the following error code when trying to #make


#chkrootkit[root@localhost chkrootkit-0.45]# make
#*** stopping make sense ***
#make[1]: Entering directory `/chkrootkit-0.45'
#gcc -static -o strings-static strings.c
#/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
#collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
#make[1]: *** [strings-static] Error 1
#make[1]: Leaving directory `/chkrootkit-0.45'
#make: *** [all] Error 2
[#root@localhost chkrootkit-0.45]#


Anyone know where I can find the missing -lc and perhaps what the
#Error codes are.

Thanks for your time - hope this is in the right section, sorry if it is not.

All "Error 1" vs "Error 2" indicates, as far as I know, is the level of the error. That is, the make target "all" has a dependency of "strings-static", so as it builds strings-static, it's at the 2nd level, hence the "Error 2". The dependency of all (strings-static) failed, so it fails as well, generating "Error 1"
.

-lc is the standard c library. On most systems, this would be glibc (the gnu c library). You may need additional development packages installed on your system.

Thanks everso much for your help - will try and locate the missing files.

Good luck and thanks again for your support.

Hello,

Consider installing the "gibc-static-devel-yourversion" package.
This solved the problem for me.
