Let me have a SSH public key and you can have an account on a suitable machine. Another trick which is useful is to add ' || cat config.log' to the end of the %configure line in the specfile -- and then you'll see interesting stuff like this in build.log: configure:3364: gcc -o conftest -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -Wall -pedantic conftest.c -lncurses >&5 /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccbzwK69.o(.text+0xc): unresolvable R_PPC_REL24 relocation against symbol `stdscr' /tmp/ccbzwK69.o: In function `main': /home/dwmw2/working/extras/clex/devel/clex-3.18/conftest.c:22: relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 against symbol `stdscr' defined in .sbss section in /lib/libtinfo.so.5 /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Smells like libtinfo isn't built with -fPIC? -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
