Problems installing NetworkManager 0.6.4 on slackware.

[Ehud Tenenbaum <udi ilsecure com>]

Hey,

I am trying to install NetworkManager 0.6.4 on my slackware 10.2 (Kernel 
2.6.17.6)
by the way this is REALLY not recommended :).
After endless bug fixes and installation modifications I got to a point 
everything sort
of working and compiling. now I am facing a weird problem take a look:

gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/NetworkManager -rdynamic NetworkManager-nm-device.o 
NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.o 
NetworkManager-nm-device-802-11-wireless.o

NetworkManager-NetworkManager.o NetworkManager-NetworkManagerPolicy.o 
NetworkManager-NetworkManagerUtils.o

make: *** [all] Error 2

Now, I HAD to install the latest libnl from svn (1.0-pre6) and I read 
somewhere that
I need to change the "-llibnl" to "-lnl" they both gave me the same result.
my /etc/ld.so.conf is updated to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and still i 
have no luck with it.

any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Udi.
