undefined reference to dlopen, dlclose, dlsym and dlerror
After a harddisk crash I had to reinstall my system. Now I'm having problems compiling programs, like modlogan 0.8.13.
./configure runs okay, but during make I get the error:
mplugins.o(.text+0xed): In function `mplugins_load_plugins':
/usr/src/modlogan-0.8.13/src/mplugins.c:127: undefined reference to `dlopen'
mplugins.o(.text+0x11c):/usr/src/modlogan-0.8.13/src/mplugins.c:142: undefined reference to `dlsym'
mplugins.o(.text+0x2f5):/usr/src/modlogan-0.8.13/src/mplugins.c:134: undefined reference to `dlerror'
mplugins.o(.text+0x43c): In function `mplugins_free':
/usr/src/modlogan-0.8.13/src/mplugins.c:212: undefined reference to `dlclose'

In the configure output I see:
checking for dlopen... no
checking for dlopen in -ldl... no
checking for dlopen in -lsvld... no
checking for dld_link in -ldld... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
configure: creating libtool
appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
I have these packages installed:
glib-1.2.10, glib2-2.6.5, glibc-2.3.5, glibc-solibs-2.3.5, glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.5, libtool-1.5.14
I don't know where to start, the system is fresh...
I got the same errors with checkinstall.
This looks like a problem with the libdl package, or possibly the libdb-devel package if you have one of those. libdb handles dynamic linking, and implements these functions in the files /usr/lib/libdl.a and /usr/lib/libdl.so
(Re)install libdbl and I think that should fix it.
