I guess the problem might lie in the way the VirtualBox driver's dependencies are linked; didn't FC13/Rawhide move to use --no-add-needed by default? If that's the case you have two options: - a bug in the VirtualBox driver's dependencies, that causes some of the libraries not to link to libdl; - the VirtualBox driver *does* need libdl, but never linked it in by itself as it relied on the --add-needed behaviour. Easy way to test this is to try configuring on Rawhide with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--add-needed" and see what happens… if it builds fine, it's the latter. On the other hand, you do have one problem: libdl is only present in glibc/uclibc, as other C libraries have it part of the base library, so I'd suggest adding a configure test. If Richard can confirm whether it's the case, I should be able to write one fairly quickly, I hope, as I have something similar laying around. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — “Flameeyes” http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ If you found a .asc file in this mail and know not what it is, it's a GnuPG digital signature: http://www.gnupg.org/ -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
