In the tests directory of glib, "make check-TESTS" immediately fails because of the same problem: zenon(~/src/Gnome2-rc1/Install/glib-2.0.6/tests) : make check-TESTS mer 21 /bin/ksh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o array-test array-test.o ../glib/libglib-2.0.la -liconv -lintl -liconv gcc -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o .libs/array-test array-test.o ../glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libintl.so -lc /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib creating array-test /bin/ksh ../libtool --mode=link c++ -g -O2 -o cxx-test cxx-test.o ../glib/libglib-2.0.la -liconv -lintl -liconv c++ -g -O2 -o .libs/cxx-test cxx-test.o ../glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libintl.so -lc /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/ld: Unresolved: abort free malloc strcmp strlen bcopy bzero collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [cxx-test] Error 1 zsh: 6768 exit 2 make check-TESTS I will report the problem as soon as bugzilla.gnome.org accepts to answer me. >> >you should install a suitable XftConfig file to make the text tool happy. >> >On the other hand since the text tool is almost unuseable it's not that >> >important... >> I must confess I don't even know what XftConfig is... >the font configuration for Xft, the next-generation X font rendering. >The text tool uses it since PangoFT2 shares the configuration file >with the Xft backend.
