Hello tabanna, on Thursday, August 31, 2000 at 21:00:07 +0000, you sat in front of your keyboard and wrote:

Could anyone kindly give me a clue, what these 2 error messages mean, please : { am trying to compile "gstalker" }

1) /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lesd: No such file or directory

2) gnome/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ldb /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lesd: No such file

.. . . what would " -lesd " mean ?

thanks

That means that you don't have installed the E-sound libraries. or that the linker can't find them. "-lesd" means libesd.so for the linker. Check that you have installed the esound package from the snd series or that the /etc/ld.so.conf contains the path to your installed esd libraries (if you did it with the sources tarball).
