As an experiment, I am attempting to build a more recent version of GNOME than 2.16.0 on CentOS 5.1. I've tried both garnome and jhbuild, and neither one works quite right. Jhbuild blows out looking for a dbus-glib-1 revision >= 0/74 (the release rev is 0.70), so I downloaded that and tried to build it. This results in the following error:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wfloat-equal -Wsign-compare -o .libs/dbus-binding-tool dbus-binding-tool-glib.o dbus-glib-tool.o ./.libs/libdbus-gtool.a -L/lib64 ./.libs/libdbus-glib-1.so -ldbus-1 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 /usr/lib/libexpat.so -lnsl /usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [dbus-binding-tool] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/mhr/Download/dbus-glib-0.74/dbus' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mhr/Download/dbus-glib-0.74/dbus' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mhr/Download/dbus-glib-0.74/dbus' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mhr/Download/dbus-glib-0.74' make: *** [all] Error 2
When I try to use garnome, it eventually runs into exactly the same error.
I've checked /usr/lib/libexpat.so, and this is what I get:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libexpat.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 8 13:11 /usr/lib/libexpat.so -> ../../lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 $ ls -l /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 133056 Jan 6 2007 /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 $ file /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
When I look at this library with nm, lld and objdump, they all seem to be able to read it just fine. There is also the 64 bit version that lives in /ib64 and has a .ink from /usr/lib64, and that also reads fine.
What did I miss here?
Thanks.

Howdy,
Just a thought, do you have the expat-devel package installed?
Thanks, Finnur

The error message is quite clear.

you are running a 64 bits CentOS-5 machine and you are trying to link a 64 bits objects with a 32 bits shared lib.
What did I miss here?
good luck.

I presume you mean my GNOME setup, and yes, I know - there are instructions on both jhbuild and garnome on how to avoid that. Hopefully they are more effective that the build instructions.... )-;
The error message is quite clear. ... you are running a 64 bits CentOS-5 machine and you are trying to link a 64 bits objects with a 32 bits shared lib.
Actually, I respectfully disagree - the message is far too vague, although the implication may not be.
However, that raises another question: why does the build (either one) not know the machine architecture on which it is running and therefore detect the proper library to which to link?
Or do I have to fake it by replacing the links in /usr/lib with those from /usr/lib64?
IOW: how do I (or does anyone) build GNOME (or even just dbus-glib) on a 64-bit platform?
good luck.
Thanks.

Did you ask the people who wrote that buildsystem ? what did they say ?

Yes, I was emailing back and forth with them yesterday. So far, on this problem (the latest in a line), no response yet.
Of course, I did not specifically ask them this question (how does one build on a 64-bit platform), but I did mention up front that that's what I'm running.
