Hello,

I am trying to install the MegaCMD command-line tool for the Mega Cloud, in Linux Solus OS, using make. When I reach the "./configure" command, everything is great until I see the following:

checking for FreeImage... --with-freeimage not specified
checking FreeImage.h usability... yes
checking FreeImage.h presence... yes
checking for FreeImage.h... yes
checking for main in -lfreeimage... no
configure: error: FreeImage library is not found!

configure: error: ./configure failed for sdk

I have Freeimage and Freeimage-devel installed and have restarted my computer. Could this error possibly occur because there is some other dependency I have overlooked installing? (I am not a developer, just a user with good troubleshooting skills, except for this time.) Thanks very much for any advice.

    I don't know if you're aware of megatools in the Solus repo? A command line tool for interacting with mega. Perhaps it might be helpful to you?

      Have you installed the freeimage package(s)?

          johano Hi johano. I was apprehensive about trying a new tool since megacli worked so well, but I tried Megatools this morning and it seems fine, so I will use it instead. Thank you! -- Steven

            I have the same issue and yes I have freeimage and freeimage-devel installed but I get the same error. I tried to install megatools but couldn't find it in SC so I searched it in packages.solus.us and the last update was on 24-12-2018. I think it is outdated. So, any fix for this error?

            megatools was removed from the repo because it wasn't maintained by any packager.

              I think the issue is with the missing libfreeimage package. Not sure though, any idea?
