Description Daniel 2002-09-07 08:48:38 UTC

Got compiling errors when running 'emerge proftpd' since I was missing libpcap
and got:

-snip-
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Llib  -o ftpcount src/ftpcount.o src/pool.o src/log.o
src/utils.o -lsupp -lcrypt  -lpam  -Lcontrib/libcap -lcap 
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ftpcount] Error 1
-snip-

After 'emerge net-libs/libpcap' proftpd emerged just fin. Perhaps you should set
up dependency for the libpcap package?

My USE-variable in /etc/make.conf is set to: USE="-kde -gnome -nls avi cups gtk
jpeg matrox mozilla ncurses oggvorbis opengl oss sdl ssl svga xml xml2 zlib"

I'm a new at gentoo so if this was bad bugreport please don't flame me, just
tell me what I did wrong and I'll try to better myself in future reports.

Best regards /Daniel.
