While trouble shooting this I found 32 bit stuff. It appears to have been pulled in by mingw-32. Removing it did not solve the problem.
What I did find was when I tried to remove the compatibility library. Yum wanted to pull a bunch of packages that were GNOME related. <pure speculation>A core Gnome library links to the compat library which links to libusbx. When I built libusbx wrong, the linking didn't work and Gnome died as a result.</pure speculation> > > Regards, > > /Pete > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > How fast is your code? > 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production. > Find out how slow your code is with AppDynamics Lite. > http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;262219672;13503038;z? > http://info.appdynamics.com/FreeJavaPerformanceDownload.html > _______________________________________________ > libusbx-devel mailing list > libusbx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libusbx-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
