Hmm, I must not understand how pkgsrc interacts with libttool, but I
just looked at .work.log and found the problem command:
(cmd-sink) pop:
-L/home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.buildlink/lib
<.> /home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.gcc/bin/gcc -o
conftest -I.
-I/home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.buildlink/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux
-I/home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.buildlink/include/db4
-I/home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.buildlink/include
-O2 -fPIC conftest.c
-L/home/sttng359/pkgsrc/converters/ruby-iconv/work/.buildlink/lib
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -lruby18-static -ldl -lcrypt -lm -ldb4 -lc
The command contains -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib, but no -L/usr/pkg/lib. Why
does this differ from what the configure script claims it ran which did
include -L/usr/pkg/lib? For whatever reason, libtool (I think) doesn't
seem to think it needs it. There is no installed .la if that make a
difference. My system does have libdb-4.0 installed in the base system
with a .a, .so, and .la file; but I don't think that that's the problem.
BTW, I also just had a similar with subversion-base failing to install
because it can't find libgssapi.so which is installed under /usr/pkg/lib
and does contain a .la file. It seems to be a similar problem with
libtool removing the -L/usr/pkg/lib argument supplied to it.
