Hello, first, qlist flex lists /usr/lib64/libfl.a and no .so, -lfl gets linked into radvd on a static way. Well glibc ist linked dynamic. io xterm # scanelf -n /usr/sbin/radvd TYPE NEEDED FILE ET_EXEC libc.so.6 /usr/sbin/radvd the question is, why does your system lack the /usr/lib64/libfl.a file. Can you please comment the output of `emerge -pv sys-devel/flex`? Thanks

System lack /usr/lib64/libfl.a as this file is provided by flex and flex is not a dependency of any installed package. This is a cross-compilation matter : # scanelf -n /usr/i586-alix-linux-uclibc/usr/sbin/radvd TYPE NEEDED FILE ET_EXEC libc.so.0,libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/i586-alix-linux-uclibc/usr/sbin/radvd > Can you please comment the output of `emerge -pv sys-devel/flex`? # i586-alix-linux-uclibc-emerge -pv flex Calculating dependencies... done!

Ok, libfl.la is copied into radvd during compile time and flex is a build time dep on versions 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. I don't know why your configure detects flex but not -lfl. Flex is pulled before radvd on a regular amd64 system. Your point with the RDEPEND is invalid, since flex is no runtime dependency for radvd. Please figure out which flex binary your radvd/configure script detects and why it doesn't detect the corresponding -lfl file.

When ROOT is modified, RDEPEND also define what should be installed in ROOT, while DEPEND define what should be install in ROOT=/ This is why I precised RDEPEND. But anyway, configure is bad as it's detected as present. > Please figure out which flex binary your radvd/configure script detects and why > it doesn't detect the corresponding -lfl file. Will do this later in the day.

This is detected as host flex is checked in $PATH : AC_PROG_YACC Then a link test is done AM_PROG_LEX And no action is taken if not found : checking for yywrap in -lfl... no checking for yywrap in -ll... no checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking whether yytext is a pointer... no
fixed
