Hello,

You will find that some of the static libraries are missing from Rocky (I'm
using Rocky Linux 8.5). Although zlib has a static library package ('zlib-
static'), mhash does not. So you need to run 'configure' with the '--disable-
static' option, or disable the use of mhash and perhaps other options. It then
configures and builds with no problems. (An alternative is, of course, to build
mhash beforehand and create the static library.)

Looking at the Aide 0.16 RPM on Rocky, the SPEC file shows that it uses '--
disable-static'.



John.
