It was in several older emails in the last month or so. It's: > /usr/bin/ld: rtree/librtree.a(split_l.o)(.text+0x27f): unresolvable R_386_32 r elocation against symbol `CoverSplit' > /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So far the only folks who have reported this are those who are running Fedora 7, and not all of them, either. I have not had time to build a VMware virtual machine with Fedora in it, even though I've downloaded the install DVD. Once I get a chance I'll try to follow the F7 directions on the wiki to see if I can reproduce the failure and track it down. None of my systems get this error during link. It doesn't seem to be a compiler version issue, either, as the gcc version reporded by the original reporter was gcc 4.1.1. (Barrie McConnell, back in April). And looking back over emails that was on FC6, not F7. I know that several people here have built on FC6, so there is something very fishy going on, as this is not universal. On another note, Fedora is completely dropping OpenMotif because its license is considered incompatible with Fedora's, so Fedora users will no longer have access so some of the dialog box tricks that Xastir plays. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
