This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
This morning I upgraded my system from Red Hat 7.2 to 8.0.
The pieces haven't stopped rolling yet.
It seemed an apropos time to upgrade to XEmacs 21.4.10. I've
been running 21.4.0 (Solid Vapor).
I downloaded and unwound the tarball and ran configure. It
ended with this message:
*** 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 *** ... rest deleted ...
Sigh. In many years of building xemacs distributions, this
has never happened. The message says simply to edit
/etc/ld.so.conf, but it doesn't suggest what should go in
there. In any case, I'm not the sort of user who plays
around a lot with moving libraries around, though I load
lots of developer stuff. I've never had a problem compiling
any standard well-packaged program, and haven't had a
standard released XEmacs distribution build fail in at least
five years.
For the record, here is the contents of myh /etc/ld.so.conf,
but I sincerly doubt that's where the problem is. It appears
more likely something is missing that should be there. If
/etc/ld.so.conf is simply a list of directories in which to
look for shared libraries, shouldn't /lib be in it? Here is
the file's content:
------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
/usr/lib/qt-1.44/lib
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/lib/qt-1.45/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/lib/qt2/lib
------------------------------------------------------------
For the record, the first sentence of the PANIC message is a
bit overstated. I can build a hello world problem just fine,
and also various other multiple file programs that do not
require anything special from libraries.
