Solution here which will resolve the conflict is adding runtime check for architecture to pcap-config instead of generating paths by autotools. This approach has some drawbacks, such that in case of both 32 and 64 bit libraries installed together paths corresponding to 64 bit libs on x86_64 will be returned, because they are preferred. However, I don't see any other obvious solution here. The main problem is with the libraries. However, pcap-config can generate directories for both 32bit and 64bit libraries. The compiler will pick up the correct one itself. Another option is to return ARCH specific paths by default, but provide an option like -m32/-m64 to provide paths for the arch specified in the command line This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. I've already resolved the conflict by patching conflicting file (pcap-config) and removed source of the conflict. Please see commit 99e93b in git repository. |
