[Slackbuilds-users] synergy-1.7.3 Slackbuild fails with dns_sd.h not found error

[Richards, Don]

Hi Chris,
I used installpkg but the package I used was avahi-0.6.31-x86_64-1dj.txz for Slackware 14.1 from the Salix repository. So, maybe that is the problem.

In the avahi package I have installed myself (built from SBo repo) that symlink already exists - its explicitly created in avahi.SlackBuild. However it needs to be installed by the correct tool (installpkg, upgradepkg etc.) since the link is inserted by the doinst.sh script. If you did an explodepkg or something else like that, the symlink wouldn't be created.
