This glib listed below worked fine (thanks), but then it asked for eventlog version >= 0.2, which I found at balabit and installed and then it asked for libnet, for which I found the binary, so finally the configure worked. Make asked for flex, which I had renamed because it made configure die. I put flex back and it passed that point but dies on this

your ld is fine. As it seems cfg-lex.c was regenerated and probably empty, that's why it does not contain the lookup_parse_flag() function. Try removing cfg-lex.c, and rerun make. It should regenerate cfg-lex.c using flex. As I see the configure test did not find libfl.a (or libfl.so) for some reason. Try adding that to your link command line. What's the error message of configure that you get if you have flex installed and not renamed? -- Bazsi
