Subject:usrbinld: cannot find lnsl

Trying to compile samhain-2.1.3, as root, on Mandriva Linux 2006.0 official with all updates installed and get

usr-bin-ld: cannot find -lnsl

samhain is a file integrity host intrusion detection system

keys and md5 checksum all match after download-unpacking.

I added the formatting to post

usr-bin-ld: cannot find -lnsl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** samhain Error 1

Any suggestions as to what is causing the ld modules search failure and-or possible fix?

I thought ld searced the trusted directoriesusr-lib andlib by default. I even added them toetc-ld.so.conf, logged out-in. Still fails.

# catetc-ld.so.conf include ld.so.conf.d-*.confusr-X11R6-libusr-lib-qt3-libusr-liblib

# locate libnslusr-lib-libnsl.solib-libnsl-2.3.5.solib-libnsl.so.1

# ls -alusr-lib-libnsl.so ..-..-lib-libnsl.so.1 # cdusr-lib libnsl-2.3.5.so # cd ..-..-lib-lib

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68576 Aug 30 2005 libnsl-2.3.5.so

# echo LDLIBARYPATH=$LDLIBARYPATH LDLIBARYPATH=

I also tried a cdlib ln -s libnsl-2.3.5.so libnsl.so

ld still failed.
