Re: configure panic

From: Stephen Dickey <stephendickey(a)finchcms.edu&gt; Subject: configure panic To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org I am having a problem similar to something I saw on this list. *** PANIC *** The C compiler can no longer build working executables. *** PANIC *** Please examine the tail of config.log for runtime errors. *** PANIC *** The most likely reason for this problem is that configure *** PANIC *** links with shared libraries, but those libraries cannot be *** PANIC *** found at run time. *** PANIC *** *** PANIC *** On a Linux system, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and re-run ldconfig. *** PANIC *** On other systems, try telling configure where to find the *** PANIC *** shared libraries using the --site-runtime-libraries option *** PANIC *** *** PANIC *** Another way to shoot yourself in the foot is to specify *** PANIC *** --with-FEATURE when FEATURE is not actually installed *** PANIC *** on your system. Don't do that. this is on a linux from scratch system which deffinately has ncurses and does not have termcap. I'm not sure when this broke but everything was building fine a couple of weeks ago. here is what seems to be the relevant portion of config.log: configure:13267: checking for TTY-related features configure:13283: checking for tgetent in -lncurses configure:13299: gcc -o conftest -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -lncurses -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lm -lshell32 -lgdi32 -luser32 -lcomdlg32 -lcomctl32 -lwinspool -lgcc -lc -lgcc /usr/lib/crtn.o 1>&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwinspool
