Error making shared libpcap on AIX

["Jonathan Gruenhut" <jonathan () zetapoint com>]

I’m working on an AIX 5.3, and trying to compile a shared libpcap library (version 0.9.8).

 

I keep hitting the error:

gcc -shared -o libpcap.so.`cat VERSION` pcap-bpf.o fad-gifc.o pcap.o inet.o gencode.o optimize.o nametoaddr.o 
etherent.o savefile.o bpf_filter.o bpf_image.o bpf_dump.o  scanner.o grammar.o version.o

collect2: library libgcc_s not found

make: *** [libpcap.so] Error 1

 

I have no idea why this should be.  (running plain “make” rather than “make shared” produces a fine static library.)

 

I ran a find for libgcc*, and got:

/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/libgcc_s.a

/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.3.2/libgcc_s_power.a

/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/4.0.0/libgcc_s.a

/usr/lib/libgcc_s_pthread.a

/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s_ppc64.a

/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s_pthread.a

/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.a

/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s_pthread_ppc64.a

 

So I don’t know why I can’t find them with the loader.

 

I had run just ./configure, with output:

I searched for this extensively on Google, and kept finding things that were similar, but not helpful enough for me.  
I’d appreciate any pointers at all.

 

Many thanks.
