recently I was not able to build the media center software XBMC, ./configure failed all the time, saying libm.so.6 was missing, though it is very well on my system available. I thought the linker was broken on openSUSE 12.2. Then I removed all binutils packages I do not need, e.g. for IA64 and ARM architecture, I only kept the i386 and x86_64 binutils. And suddenly I was able to build XBMC and other software again. This makes me wonder, does having several different binutils on the system confuse the system?
Yes. I haven't done cross-compiling in a long time, but I remember this. If you have multiple build environments it is easy to get it screwed up. There are environment variables that need to be set to keep everything looking in the same place. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-programming+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-programming+owner@opensuse.org
