libvirt users - Mar 2016 - libvirt_driver_storage.so /usr/lib64/../lib64/libfl.so.2: undefined symbol: yylex

Hello List,

I'm trying to get libvirt to work on slackware64-current
(slackware64-14.2 beta) and while it compiles just fine, it refuses to
run because of an undefined symbol:

2016-03-01 20:09:26.822+0000: 27849: error : virDriverLoadModule:73 :
failed to load module
/usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_storage.so
/usr/lib64/../lib64/libfl.so.2: undefined symbol: yylex

I'm not really doing anything odd, here is my configure options in my
package building script:

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
  --bindir=/usr/sbin \
  --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --docdir=/usr/doc/libvirt-1.3.3 \
  --enable-static=no \
  --enable-shared=yes \
  --with-yajl \
  --with-python=/usr \
  --with-qemu-group=users \
  --with-init-script=none \
  --with-storage-iscsi


Looks like the old slackware64-14.1 had flex compiled statically and the
new version is an SO, so I figure that's why this didn't happen on the
older slackware.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Turns out that the issue was that libvirt was building with glusterfs
support (detected) and gluster was using flex but it was broken because
of how I compiled it.  The solution was to static flex into glusterfs
then rebuild libvirt.

Hopefully that helps someone else....
