Question /usr/bin/ld error recieved on make


I've been using Linux for about a year and am still relatively new. I'm attempting to install the svgalib package from www <dot> svgalib <dot> org and am running FCII.

The problem is this: after trying to install, everything seems to be working fine until the end. I can man vga_whatever and see the installed folder. Here is the end of what I get.

...
cc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -g -I/root/svgalib-1.4.3/include -I/root/svgalib-1.4.3/gl -s -o fun fun.c -lvgagl -lvga
fun.c: In function `writestat':
fun.c:381: warning: implicit declaration of function `strlen'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvgagl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [fun] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/svgalib-1.4.3/demos'
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/svgalib-1.4.3/threeDKit'
cc -s -o plane planukit.o planinit.o 3dinit.o 3dkit.o wrapsurf.o quickmath.o triangle.o striangle.o wtriangle.o swtriangle.o -lm -lvgagl -lvga
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvgagl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [plane] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/svgalib-1.4.3/threeDKit'
make: *** [demoprogs] Error 2

I've looked over the forums here and haven't seen much that addresses this, but I think it's a linker error. What can I do to fix this?? I've tried changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIB_PATH and everything else I can think of. Please help me out! Thanks!

jmonolith,

Try setting your CC compiler to gcc.
setenv CC <path to gcc> (if using a csh derivative)
You may also need to set some flags to get the compiler to work.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work. I didn't really know what to do with any flags info, so all I've done is set cc to use gcc. Any other suggestions?

>> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvgagl
the linker is looking for the library called 'libvgagl.so', but it can not
find it on your system. Check if you system has it installed, and if
so, recompile again, adding the following compiler flag:
'-L/path/to/the/directory'
where the above directory contains libvgagl.so

hi there,

although jmonolith2001 has solved his problem, I want to post this because I had a similar problem when trying to compile K3B. I got this error:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o libk3bdevice.la -rpath /usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -version-info 2:0:0 -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined k3bdevice.lo k3bscsicommand.lo k3btrack.lo k3btoc.lo k3bdevicemanager.lo k3bmsf.lo k3bdiskinfo.lo k3bdeviceglobals.lo k3bcrc.lo k3bcdtext.lo -lkio
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lart_lgpl_2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libk3bdevice.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/temp/k3b-0.11.18/src/device'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/temp/k3b-0.11.18/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/temp/k3b-0.11.18'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I made a "locate libart_lgpl_2" (based on the reply from stanleyg76) and found a '/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2', so I only made a symlink "/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so" pointing to "/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2", and the problem was solved.

Hope someone can find this info useful.
