rockylinux9 - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl #72
Description
when building on rockylinux9 with a light set of dev packages (gcc/glibc-devel)
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl
libnsl was removed from standard glibc libraries.
does LSF still require libnsl on a more modern OS like rockylinux 9?
if so, should libnsl2 be used, or should builds be limited to older distro/glibc and the compat nsl libraries used on rocky9

looking forward to centos stream10 - looks like libnsl2 is dropped - but the compat libnsl is maintained
avoiding libnsl2 is probably the way to go.

Good to hear. Hopefully other aspects of that library are maintained. XDR is still in heavy use throughout the industry including LSF, which depends on it.
