undefined reference to symbol 'crypt@@XCRYPT_2.0' on Rocky Linux v8 about event-driven-servers HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

thanks, could you please git pull and check whether the configure script now recognizes libcrypt on your system?

Thanks,

Hi Marc,

Tried the latest version and still get the same error.

We're found a workaround, but are not sure if it's elegant enough for primetime.

On Rocky Linux the package is known as "libcrypt"

[root@rocky1 SOURCES]# pkg-config --list-all | egrep -i crypt
libcrypt libxcrypt - Extended crypt library for DES, MD5, Blowfish and others
libxcrypt libxcrypt - Extended crypt library for DES, MD5, Blowfish and others
hogweed Hogweed - Nettle low-level cryptographic library (public-key algorithms)
nettle Nettle - Nettle low-level cryptographic library (symmetric algorithms)
libcrypto OpenSSL-libcrypto - OpenSSL cryptography library
libssl OpenSSL-libssl - Secure Sockets Layer and cryptography libraries
openssl OpenSSL - Secure Sockets Layer and cryptography libraries and tools
libcrypto3 OpenSSL-libcrypto - OpenSSL cryptography library
libssl3 OpenSSL-libssl - Secure Sockets Layer and cryptography libraries
openssl3 OpenSSL - Secure Sockets Layer and cryptography libraries and tools
[root@rocky1 SOURCES]#

but configure appears to look for "crypt"

check_for("CRYPT", "crypt", "crypt.h", "crypt", undef);

we added the following line beforehand

check_for("CRYPT", "libcrypt", "crypt.h", "crypt", undef);

the error has gone away :)

Kind regards Phil

Hi Phil,

thanks, the latest commit (153e906) should fix that issue, reliably.

Hi Marc,

First pass looking good, I'll do some more testing tomorrow but I think this is ready to close.

Thank you

Hi Phil,

great, thanks!

It always surprises me how Linux distributions differ in library locations. The current code should cover that now, but we'll see.

Thanks again,
