You can run with "make VERBOSE=1" then you'll see the exact command that make is using for linking. Anyway, this can have one of the two reasons. Either the linker thinks that "-lregex" is a file, and cannot find it (unlikely, but possible, depends on what else is on the command line). Or it simply cannot find the library - libregex.so (or libregex.a). You need to specify a path to the library with the linker flag -L/path/to/the/library Regards, Sergei _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
