Laurent, Can you update the BuildRequires of the kdelibs package to the following:
audiofile-devel bzip2-devel db3-devel libalsa-devel libart_lgpl-devel libarts-devel libcups1-devel >= 1.1.14 libfam0-devel libjpeg-devel libldap-devel libpcre0-devel libpng-devel libqt3-devel >= 3.0.5-2mdk libsasl-devel libtiff-devel libvorbis-devel libxml2 >= 2.4.11 libxslt1-devel pam-devel XFree86-devel and while rebuilding a number of packages that require kdelibs-devel to build I've frequently seen this error: /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -O2 -O2 -mieee -mcpu=ev5 -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -o kcm_linuz.la.closure kcm_linuz_la_closure.lo -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib -L/usr/lib -module -avoid-version -no-undefined kcm_linuz_la.all_cpp.lo -lkdeui -lkhtml libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la' make[3]: *** [kcm_linuz.la.closure] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/cooker/RPM/BUILD/kdeadmin-3.0.8/kcmlinuz' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cooker/RPM/BUILD/kdeadmin-3.0.8/kcmlinuz' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cooker/RPM/BUILD/kdeadmin-3.0.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /home/cooker/tmp/rpm-tmp.11102 (%build) For instance in: http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/alpha/problem/kdeadmin-3.1-0.beta2.4mdk.src.rpm.txt Perhaps the libart_lgpl-devel package can be added to the Requires list of kdelibs? with kind regards, Stefan van der Eijk
