I tried to install conky but it won't configure: checking for iwlib.h... yes checking for iw_sockets_open in -liw... no configure: error: iw_sockets_open not found the strange thing is: iw_sockets_open seems to be in the file: cat /usr/include/iwlib.h | grep iw_sockets_open iw_sockets_open(void); The relevant part of the logfile: configure:13984: checking for iw_sockets_open in -liw configure:14009: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-ident -pipe -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed conftest.c -liw -lncurses -lm -lX11 >&5 /var/tmp/portage/app-admin/conky-1.8.1-r2/temp/ccbvv644.o: In function `main': conftest.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `iw_sockets_open' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:14009: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Conky" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "conky" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.8.1" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Conky 1.8.1" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "brenden1@users.sourceforge.net" | #define PACKAGE_URL "" | #define PACKAGE "conky" | #define VERSION "1.8.1" | #define _GNU_SOURCE /**/ | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRING_H 1 | #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1 | #define LT_OBJDIR ".libs/" | #define CONFIG_OUTPUT 1 | #define HAVE_FOPENCOOKIE 1 | #define OWN_WINDOW 1 | #define NCURSES 1 | #define IBM 1 | #define IOSTATS 1 | #define MATH 1 | #define XOAP 1 | #define XOAP_FILE "$HOME/.xoaprc" | #define WEATHER 1 | #define X11 1 | #define USE_ARGB 1 | #define HAVE_IWLIB_H 1 | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error. | Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | char iw_sockets_open (); | int | main () | { | return iw_sockets_open (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:14018: result: no configure:14023: error: iw_sockets_open not found Reproducible: Always
That's a link problem, so it's a problem with the library itself rather than its header file. For instance, maybe your wireless-tools is newer than conky expects, and has a different library API (I notice the conky ebuild does not specify specific versions for wireless-tools). Try using 'nm' on your /usr/lib/libiw.so and see if 'iw_sockets_open' symbol is really missing. Also, please post results of 'emerge --info net-wireless/wireless-tools'
I rebuildet net-wireless/wireless-tools and now it's working. So for now I don't know what was wrong before.
