[SOLVED] library -lrx not found

[samrat_rao]

Hi,
This is a repeat question that i posted in the section 'Linux Applications' about 4 hours ago. Since i did not receive any reply i thought that this is the appropriate place to post it.

I am trying to compile a complex code in my openSUSE 11.0 distro. The error below says -lrx is not found. Could someone tell me which library is this and where it can be obtained, either rpm or source code?

I have tried to use both GNU's compilers ie gcc and gfortran 4.3 as well as Intel's compilers (version 10.1.017).

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lrx
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [ncl] Error 1

Thanks!

You can conclude from the option "-lrx". First, strip away the leading "-l", which is a command for the linker. What is left constitutes the name of the library, "rx", and is then precedented by "lib". Therefore, you need to have a filename similar to "librx.so" or "librx.la" in your library directory.
