I can reach news.eternal-september.org with version 2.6.4 without any problem:

Connecting to news.eternal-september.org:119...
news.eternal-september.org InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.8.0 (20250224
Reading keymap file: None

I invoked it with rtin -g news.eternal-september.org.

Is the dante package installed, which provides libsocks.so.0? It doesn't work without it, and it's not set as a dependency in PKGBUILD.

From the changelog:

ADD. disallow giving both --with-socks and --with-socks5

That's why the flags

--with-socks \
--with-socks5 \

are wrong, and the warning

checking if you want socks library... yes
checking if you want socks5 library... yes
configure: WARNING: assuming --with-socks5 is intended, ignoring --with-socks

is issued. So either --with-socks (=socks4) OR --with-socks5 (socks5) should be used. If you don't need socks support (which is the default) you can do without these flags (and the package dante).

The PKGBUILD should be revised accordingly.

I installed back the 2.6.3 version. 2.6.4 is not working for me.

I get same error as pdean. What is happening?

Error persists even if I add -4 as start parameter.

Since upgrading from 2.6.3 I am getting this error. I managed to get a screenshot of the error message before it disappeared. I've typed this off the screenshot

tin 2.6.4 blah blah
Connecting to news.eternal-september.org:119...
socket or connect problem
connect(2): Network is unreachable
Failed to connect to NNTP server news.eternal-september.org. Exiting...

The network most definitely is reachable.

i can confirm success with martin-de proposed mod.

socks5 is provided by the dante package, which is part of the makedepends array.

The problem is gcc, since it has been changed at Tue May 7 from 13.2.1-6 to 14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134-1. If you downgrade to 13.2 you can build the package without problems, if you update to 14.1 you will run into the error.

After consulting the developer, the CFLAG "-fpermissive" should be set. After changing the PKGBULD

 --- a/PKGBUILD
 +++ b/PKGBUILD
 @@ -25,7 +25,8 @@ build() {
         cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
         unset CFLAGS
         unset CPPFLAGS

         --enable-shell-escape \
         --enable-nntp \
         --enable-nls \

I was able to build the package again without errors.

The build log cited is only the summary. The config.log file would show the actual error. Also, the package dependencies do not list a socks5 package, which makes it hard to guess what the configure script did not see.

indeed, for a little bit now the installed version complains about not finding libicuuc.so.74 (package's updated), yet when trying to update it fails to find the magic socks libraries and refuses, now:

tail end of the logs 
checking if you want socks library... yes
checking if you want socks5 library... yes
configure: WARNING: Cannot find socks library
configure: error: cannot link with socks library
disabling the socks option and leaving only socks5, gets a liiitle further 
checking if you want socks library... no
checking if you want socks5 library... yes
checking for network libraries... working...
checking for gethostname... yes

checking if the socks library uses socks4 prefix... configure: error: Cannot link with socks5 library

editing PKGBUILD to disable socks support does allow it to build, though

swimm3r commented on 2024-05-30 18:32 (UTC)

Do anyone have this error: configure: error: cannot link with socks library

Thanks.

why '--with-nntps' is missing from PKGBUILD?
