If anyone else faces the same problem on Suse, install libacl-devel.

Although libacl is installed, libacl-devel cannot be found via Yast2 in any of the select strings, perhaps we get them from somewhere else, one day?

I am running SuSe 10, with KDE 3.5 and acl installed, and it still can't find -lacl...

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.0.2/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lacl

Sigh...

Do you have all the main Suse 10 repos setup?

Someone suggested using apt-get to install 'libacl-devel'

apt-get install libacl-devel
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libacl-devel

Found it (not on the CDs) rpms here:

http: //mirror.iglu.org.il/pub/opensuse/inst-source/suse/i586/

Note that libacl-devel also requires libattr-devel...

Trying kdenetwork/kopete/make again - going for an hour so far (might have something here ?)

I definitely have libacl-devel and libattr-devel in my YAST sources. I setup the main opensuse OSS repo, the extras (inst-source-extra) and the KDE and GNOME supplementary repos.

Possibly I haven't all 4 of the sources you mention, somehow.

However, when I finally had the missing lib(acl|attr)-devel rpms manually downloaded (not on the CDs and not found via the SuSe 10 online update), the beastie compiled and installed fine (eventually

Bit of a trail though...

The packages are actually part of the main Suse distro. I installed 10.1 alpha 4 yesterday and there were there. I had only configured the main opensuse repo.

Reddazz, it's always possible I haven't got my online update sources configured correctly. I've always used the CDs, until now. I like the online updates though, ensuring the targets are correct is the next thing on my list...

The 5 cd set does not contain all of the packages in the Suse distro (it even says it on the Suse websites). You need to use the commercial dvd or access these packages using the main Suse repos.
