Problem compiling OpenSSH

[Andrew Cowan]

I am currently trying to compile the latest version of SSH, however I am now stuck with this problem:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libfl.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [libopenbsd-compat.a] IOT trap (core dumped)
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/openssh_build_env/compile_env/openssh-3.6.1p1/openbsd-compat'
gmake: *** [openbsd-compat/libopenbsd-compat.a] Error 2
root@renoir:/opt/openssh_build_env/compile_env/openssh-3.6.1p1#

The "libfl.sl" seems to be the problem as it doesn't exist on the system. I can find lots of things on the Internet that say this is a known HP problem, and links to the open-source software download sites at HP.

Any ideas except download the pre-compiled version, as I expressly want to compile and configure my own version. :)

BTW. I have build this version on AIX with no problems, and earlier versions on other HP systems, again without a problem.

libfl is part of a package called flex. You can download from various hp sites, eg;
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

flex 2.5.4a flex

Once installed copy the libfl libs to say /lib. There are other dependencies for openssh for HP-UX - did you check them all ? You can see them listed at the sam HP site above, search for openssh and it lists them.
