configure on (K)ununtu 6.10 returns error for Xemacs-21.5.28

Hello Motivated by the promised good UTF-8 support of the 21.5 series I tried to build it myself. The last time I did that has been before switching to Debian/Ubuntu some 4 years ago. I just run ./confiure and obtain the following PANIC message: *** PANIC *** The C compiler can no longer build working executables. *** PANIC *** Please examine the tail of config.log for runtime error s. *** PANIC *** The most likely reason for this problem is that configu re *** 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 ldco nfig. *** PANIC *** On other systems, try telling configure where to find t he *** PANIC *** shared libraries using the --with-site-runtime-librarie s 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. Well I hesitate to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and I can't believe that this should be necessary on a standard Kubuntu system. A brief look in the config.log makes my suspect that configure: program exited with status 4 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "XEmacs" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "xemacs" confdefs.h Might be the culprit. I can attach the config.log if necessary (0.3 M). regards Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
