I'm trying to recompile the source RPM from the FC3 version of cvs (http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/SRPMS.updates/cvs-1.11.17-4.src...), as the version shipped on RHEL/CentOS/etc has a known bug (version 1.11.2-unix "cvs watch on" doesn't work).
The initial configure is failing with this obscure error:
configure:2257: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2260: gcc -I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV -I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV conftest.c -lkrb4 -ldes425 -lk5crypto >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkrb4 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The file(s) do indeed exist in /usr/kerberos/lib, and that path is in my /etc/ld.so.conf (re-ran /sbin/ldconfig just in case). The strange thing here is that it also fails on RHES3 with the same error -- krb4 libs and .so symlinks are all fine, it's in the ld.so.conf.
While apparently a RHES3 buglet of some sort, was wondering if anyone could pass on some knowledge or things to try. I have some developers wanting to use cvs watch on, cvs server runs CentOS. :-/
thanks for any help! -te
