[FIXED] can't compile on Arch

[perpetuallyhorni]

I compiled this on a freshly installed and updated arch VPS around 15 days ago, today I'm trying to install (on a freshly installed as well) local arch machine to no avail. Tried AUR, AUR 'trickle-git', this repo and echiu64's fork

log reads:

checking if we can access libc without dlopen... no
checking if we can access libc with libc.so... no
checking if we can access libc with /usr/lib/libc.so... no
checking if we can access libc with /usr/lib/libc.so.6... no
checking if we can access libc with /lib/libc.so.6... no
configure: error: cannot figure out how to access libc
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I tried applying the patch described in ArchLinux forums post from 2024-05-13: Cannot install trickle because libc is not found to AUR's trickle-git

but that results in

FIXED

I have successfully built. All I did was apply the patch above to regular trickle from AUR as opposed to applying it to trickle-git.

Yes this worked for me too. Only on trickle from AUR (v1.07-12), but not on the more recent version.
