ive looked around and have not found out much info on this error. anyone more knowledgable know whats up?

Try adding "--with-libs=-ldl" (without the quotes, of course) to NTP's configure options. That may or may not solve the problem, though even if it does it's probably not the "right" solution. Something seems to be off with your installation of OpenSSL that's preventing ld from finding what it needs. Did you make sure to enable the creation of OpenSSL's shared libraries during its configuration stage?

Slackware 12.1 ?

'ntp-4.2.4p6' compiles with no errors on my system,
just using './configure' .. 'make'

If you succeed, be aware of the default installed 'ntp'
> 'ls /var/log/packages/ | grep ntp'
( supposed to print 'ntp-4.2.4p0-i486-1 )

Having 2 versions installed can be confusing, I guess.

this is on a linux from scratch pc, it doesnt have much on it.

ninja master · 02-27-2009, 01:26 PM

Code:

./config shared --prefix=/usr

on a clean untarring of the openssl source tarball fixed my error. thanks for giving me a hint as to what was going on.

No problem. Glad I was able to help.

it was totaly the wrong command you gave, but the post had enough info for just a little bit of searching to find the right way to set it up.

And learning to search and find the answers by yourself is part of what LFS is all about.

Working with your own home-brewed Linux system for a while helps you become much more self-reliant to the point where, in cases of trouble, a "hint" is generally all that's needed.

As for the --with-libs=-ldl config option I gave you, I *did* say that it might not work; I included it only because I'd found logs from other people who were getting errors very similar to yours and that solved it, for them. In your case, though, OpenSSL seemed the more likely culprit.

And out of curiosity, did you not follow the OpenSSL instructions in BLFS the first time around? That should have enabled the building of its shared libraries if you did.
