Compilation Error for an application

[ophouddin22]

I was trying to compile an application on porteus linux

gcc -Wall -O xyz.c -lpci -o xyz

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpci
collect2: error ld returned 1 exit status

When I run the command on porteus linux. I get the following thing

root@porteus: locate libpci

/usr/lib/libpci.so
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpci.pc
/usr/lib/libpciaccess.la
/usr/lib/libpciaccess.so
/usr/lib/libpciaccess.so.0
/usr/lib/libpciaccess.so.0.11.1
/var/log/packages/libpciaccess-0.13.2-i486-1

Can you please help me resolve this.

hi ophouddin22,

you need statically linked libpci (such libs are removed from porteus) so please install 'pciutils' package through USM and all should be good.
