[framework] getting ruby-lorcon working

[Robin Wood]

Hi
I'm trying to get the ruby-lorcon stuff working with archlinux but
I've got stuck at the first step.

Running ruby extconf.rb results in an error about not being able to
find the lorcon library. The mkmf.log file contains:

have_library: checking for tx80211_txpacket() in -lorcon...
-------------------- no

"gcc -o conftest -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux -I.  -march=i686
-O2 -pipe  -fPIC conftest.c  -L'/usr/lib' -Wl,-R'/usr/lib'  -rdynamic
-Wl,-export-dynamic     -lruby-static -lorcon  -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt
-lm   -lc"
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lorcon
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

5: int t() { void ((*volatile p)()); p = (void
((*)()))tx80211_txpacket; return 0; }
/* end */

5: int t() { tx80211_txpacket(); return 0; }
/* end */

--------------------

I have the the latest lorcon library installed and have a working C
app to prove  it works. Everything is installed in the default places
with
/usr/local/lib/liborcon.1a in ld.so.conf and also  with  this set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/liborcon.la/

Can anyone help?

Thanks
