Any pointers are appreciated. Newer versions of flex (I don't know from which version) ship a .so, which automake tries to link with whatever it is building by adding a '-lfl' linker flag. This causes the build failure. To avoid this, pass an empty 'LEXLIB=' option to the configure script, as in `./configure <other-options> LEXLIB=` This will allow the compilation and linking to happen properly. > > -r > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
