Description Stanislav Kozina 2011-12-01 10:01:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

After installation of lksctp-tools, this command still fails:

$ gcc   s.c   -o s -DLINUX -lsctp
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsctp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I had to create the symlink manually:
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/libsctp.so.1.0.10 /usr/lib64/libsctp.so
$ gcc   s.c   -o s -DLINUX -lsctp
$

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

lksctp-tools.x86_64 1.0.10-5.el6

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install lksctp-tools.x86_64-1.0.10-5.el6
2. Compile any binary, "hello world" is fine.
3. Try to link it with '-lsctp' library.
  
Actual results:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsctp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Expected results:

Linkage succeeds.

/usr/lib64/libsctp.so is in lksctp-tools-devel subpackage, available in RHEL optional repository.

Do you have this package installed?
