Problem Installing, "Gift"
 

Hi, im trying to install Gift. I extracted the tarball, then go to the directory in konsole, and type It runs for a while, configuring and making, then I get this...

plugin.c' || echo './'`plugin.c
plugin.c:43:3: #error libltdl support is temporarily required, sorry!
make[3]: *** [plugin.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mister/Documents/gift-0.11.3/src'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mister/Documents/gift-0.11.3/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mister/Documents/gift-0.11.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Is it trying to tell me I need libtdl, or just some random error?

Thanks a bunch,
Matt

Yes, it requires a library you don't have. You cangt it from http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RP...1mdk.i586.html

i installed that rpm but it is still giving me that same error message. is there anything additional that i have to do??

when i go through the rpm again it says "everything already installed", but making gift still gives me that error.

im running into the same problem, when i d/l the tar.gz then run tar -zxvf "thefile" it goes fine, when i ./configure it prints error that it will not support ltdl. I have libtools installed is there a way to point it to the place where that library is installed. ./configure --help doesnt have the options for it. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got this problem too:

HELP!!
:newbie:

you need to install the libtdl-devel rpm, not just the libtdl rpm itself.

During the install of libtdl-devel, it had a couple of dependencies for me to install, I have all of them installed except this devel(libdl). When i did a search on that file, I found it should be included in glibc-devel-2.3.1.10.mdk.rpm. Which i have installed. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
