Hi,

I am trying to build an rpm on redhat machine.

OS:Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
after building when I try to install,after doing the 'configure' command,
when I run 'make',, its giving the following error.


[root@vrdevcti001 xmlstarlet-1.0.1]# make
make all-recursive

All the libxslt rpms are already installed.I think it need the file /usr/lib/libxslt.a and,, others...
How to get those files in the respective location?

Please revert to this post asap.. Thanks in advance.

Long shot: do you have libxslt-dev?

I believe there is a tool for searching for which rpm would contain the necessary files. rpmseek.com suggests libxslt-devel or libxslt-static; my uninformed guess would support the former.
