All of a sudden, builds ( xine, dvdauthor) break with:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

but

ldconfig -v | grep Xext
        libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4
        libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4

I would look at your ld.so.conf configuration firstly, to confirm
that the X libraries are indeed configured there.  If they are, then
this is almost certainly a bug in the software you're trying
to compile.  From the errors above though, I would strongly suspect
that your ld.so configuration is hosed.


/etc/ld.so.conf is pretty simple:

cat ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/kerberos/lib

/usr/local/lib


and

 ls /etc/ld.so.conf.d
mysql-i386.conf    octave-x86_64.conf  xorg-x11-i386.conf
mysql-x86_64.conf qt-i386.conf qt-x86_64.conf xorg-x11-x86_64.conf


cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xorg-x11-x86_64.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib64

The errors are from autotools configure tests.

I've simplified it further:

cat simple.c
  int
  main ()
  {
    return 0;
  }

gcc -o test.Xext -lXext simple.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

but ldconfig does find it:

 ldconfig -v | grep Xext
        libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4
        libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4

Now, maybe this is an autotools issue, but I've rebuilt these src.rpms before without a hitch.

I've got a grease spot on the monitor. I'm sure it's because mod X is comming :)
