Im trying to build Liferea (Linux Feed Reader), but GCC gives me this error message:

Quote:

gcc: /usr/lib/liblua.so : No such file or directory

LUA 5.1.4 is installed on my system, and liblua.so is in the above directory.

I've done 'ldconfig' but I still get the error message.

What's the output of:

Code:

ls -l /usr/lib/liblua.so

Check permissions and make sure it isn't a link to a non-existent file.

you need to install the source/headers for lua
what you have right now is just the lib
you do not have the development package for lua
that is a REQUIREMENT for building any software that uses LUA

and / or

you are running a 64 bit OS and you are trying to build a 32 bit program

Slackware doesn't divide its libraries into runtime and development packages.

Gosh darn it, Im sorry for the late reply, in all honesty I forgot I even posted this question untill earlier today, I've just been getting drunk all weekend.

It turns out that it was a soft link that was pointing to the wrong file, so I created a new link and now it works.

Thanks to those that responded.
