Greetings!

Note: I am using FreeBSD 2.2.1-R

I seem to have a problem when trying to compile any source code that is
prepared to be compiled with gnu development tools.  My current project 
is the experimentation with X11R6.3; though, this problem has occured
with other source bundles.

[truncated]
gcc -o imake -m486 -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -pipe      imake.o 
-L/usr/X11R6.3/lib   -lgnumalloc  
ld: -lgnumalloc: no match
*** Error code 1

Stop.


I have downloaded and built the malloc library from the gnu archive on
the cdrom.com archive.  I placed the libmalloc.a file in the /usr/lib 
directory and executed ranlib on it.

Undoubtedly I'm doing something wrong.  Any help with this issue would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

-Stephen
