Description AP Fritts 2005-07-10 10:28:24 UTC

i have just started a 2005.0 x86 stage 1 install on an Athlon XP and I cannot
get X11 to install.  I have tried x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 and 6.8.2-r2 and
they both fail.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install stage 1 and follow all directions :)
2. emerge enlightenment
3.

Actual Results:  
I recieved an error message.  The last couple lines of output are as follows:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o pswrap -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -pedantic -Wno-return-type -W      
-L../../exports/lib main.o pswparser.o lexer.o pswdict.o pswfile.o     
systemnames.o psw.o pswstring.o pswsemantics.o -lfl -W1,
-rpath-link,../../exports/lib

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-20050130/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
Cannot find -lfl

Collect2: ld returned 1 Exit Status
make[4]: *** [pswrap] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2/work/xc/config/pswrap

Expected Results:  
I expected xorg to install properly :-\

If 'emerge info' is required, let me know.  I cannot access this website from
linux because the text web-browsers i have found require xorg :-\
