Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2006-06-07 07:05:52 UTC

Numerous rpm packages have recently started failing to build, claiming that
XAW could not be found, even though the packages were installed correctly.
This was first reported to us in an xorg-x11-resutils bug, which ./configure
was unable to detect XAW being present.

Additionally, many people have experienced the error you are reporting
above, which is caused by the same problem.  Yesterday we investigated this,
and oddly enough, the problem was not reproduceable on rpmbuild builds,
nor in beehive.  It only occured when building using mock.

The library would build, and get packaged seemingly ok, but nothing could
find it after that.  The problem was tracked down by Bill Nottingham, who
determined that the libXaw sonames were being incorrectly generated.  He
further tracked the problem down to being a missing build dependency.

A new libXaw package has been built with:

BuildRequires: ed

This allows it to build correctly and get the right soname.  Assuming there
are no other hidden issues, all packages that require libXaw should be
buildable now, and the reported error above should vanish as well.

It is possible that all software which links to libXaw may need to be
recompiled, so if you encounter any problems, please attempt to recompile
the given application's src.rpm to see if that fixes it before reporting
a bug against that component.

Thanks.
