[mrtg] Re: MRTG, GD and RH8

[tony bourke]

Hi Kevin,

I've seen several library-related issues with RH8.  They seem to be 
centered around RH not putting in a .so link for certain libraries.  I've 
found this when trying to compile several programs.

For instance:

/usr/lib/libgd.so
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4

so, so.1, so.1.8, are all symbolic links to .1.8.4.  RH8 doesn't always 
have a .so by itself, which is what ld is looking for in -lgd.  Simply do 
a ln -s /usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4 (or whatever is installed) to 
/usr/lib/libgd.so and that might just fix your issue.

I've had to do this with -lbz and -lelf on RH8 thus far.

Tony
