G'day Tom,

I hope you are doing well.


I've been trying to get xdp2 working on nixOS and it's been quite a
journey because of both gcc and clang/llvm.  I'm getting pretty close
now, but I suspect I'm getting segfaults with the xdp2-compiler
because of versions of compilers and libraries xdp2 is expecting. (
Let's not discuss nix for now though )


With the intention of compiling xdp2 on a more "normal" distribution,
I tried following the instructions in the readme.md (
https://github.com/xdp2-dev/xdp2/blob/main/README.md#prerequisites )
on a completely fresh ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.

To my surprise, I'm getting "Clang library missing or broken!"

"
das@ubuntu2204:~/xdp2/src$ ./configure


Platform is default
Architecture is x86_64
Architecture includes for x86_64 not found, using generic
Target Architecture is
COMPILER is gcc
Clang library missing or broken!
das@ubuntu2204:~/xdp2/src$
"

I guess I'm unclear which distribution system xdp2 expects.  Maybe
Debian?  Which version please?

I'd love to know which versions of gcc, clang, python, boost are
recommended please.

Thanks in advance,
