Description of problem:
I was trying to compile gambas and I got this error:

gcc: /usr/lib/libidn.so: No such file or directory

So I fixed it with this:

[root@localhost lib]# ls -l libidn*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    795 Oct  7 12:01 libidn.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     16 Jan 17 10:00 libidn.so.11 -> 
libidn.so.11.4.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 193700 Oct  7 12:02 libidn.so.11.4.6
[root@localhost lib]# ln -
s /usr/lib/libidn.so.11.4.6 /usr/lib/libidn.so 
[root@localhost lib]# ls -l libidn*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    795 Oct  7 12:01 libidn.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     25 Jan 22 18:52 libidn.so -
> /usr/lib/libidn.so.11.4.6
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     16 Jan 17 10:00 libidn.so.11 -> 
libidn.so.11.4.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 193700 Oct  7 12:02 libidn.so.11.4.6


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libidn-0.5.6-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install FC3
2. yum update
3. configure and make gambas-1.0.2

    

Actual Results:  gcc: /usr/lib/libidn.so: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  Compile completed successfully.

You need to install libidn-devel.

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libidn.so
libidn-devel-0.5.6-1
