No rule to make target `-lwrap', needed by `ftpd'

Hi all

I am trying to install bsdftpd-ssl ftp server on suse 9.3. I think i have installed a software required to compile the ftp server. When i type in make i get the following error.

*****No rule to make target `-lwrap', needed by `ftpd'

Any help in fixing this problem would be great..

"libwrap" is the TCP wrappers library, necessary so the app will use /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow (or it's own implementation like Xinetd does). Install tcp_wrappers dev package.

Thanks unspawn, that was it, i had only installed tcp-wrappers not the developer kit.
