svn-1303 configure error id3_file_open

[rolfie]

I’m trying to install mt-daapd svn-1303 on a new Linux FC5 server. I’m getting the following during configure:
checking id3tag.h usability… yes
checking id3tag.h presence… yes
checking for id3tag.h… yes
checking for id3_file_open in -lid3tag… no
no libid3tag. Try –with-id3tag=dir

So, it’s finding id3tag.h but not the imbedded fuction??? Should I be looking for another level of libid3tag?

No, there is something else that probably needs to be autoconfed, but isn’t.

Look at your config.log and see why the configure check failed. Probably something unrelated.

Thanks for the pointer to the log. I’m guessing this is the culprit, but I have no clue how to fix it myself.

configure:20229: checking for id3tag.h
configure:20236: result: yes
configure:20260: checking for id3_file_open in -lid3tag
configure:20290: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -lz -g -Wall -DHAVE_SQL -DHOST='”i686-pc-linux-gnu”‘ -DNOT_HAVE_SA_LEN -I/usr//include -L/usr//lib -R/usr//lib conftest.c -lid3tag -lpthread >&5
gcc: unrecognized option ‘-R/usr//lib’
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What’s the -R option supposed to be for?

It’s harmless. It’s a solaris flag.

Did you use “–with-id3tag=/usr/” ? What was your entire configure string?

Also, where is zlib? That’s the fundamental problem, it can’t find zlib.

[rolfie]

“zlib” was the key. I had not yet installed the zlib-devel package. After I did that, the configure-make sequence sailed through. Thanks for the help.
