RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Dear Red Hat,
I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 6.5, 64 bit. Would one of our intrepid heroes please fix this for me?
It about killed my trying to compile Wine-1.7.30 (I conquered). In the "./configure" phase, Wine threw the following error:
wine-1.7.30]# ./configure --disable-win64
"configure: WARNING: libxslt 3/usr/lib/libXrender.so.12-bit development files not found, xslt won't be supported."
Problem was that libxslt was actually installed:
# rpm -qa \*libxslt\* | grep -i i686
libxslt-1.1.26-2.el6_3.1.i686
libxslt-devel-1.1.26-2.el6_3.1.i686
The error from Wine is a bogus error. Wine's "./configure" was missing "libXext", which libXrender has a dependency. Installing libXext corrected the bogus error.
The bogus error was reported to Wine over on:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37534#c8
Their response was:
Every X11 extension (which libXrender is) depends on libXext, that's
an X11 dependency, not a Wine one.
Would you please add libXext as a dependency in libxslt/libXrender's RPM?
If you do the following google search:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=configure:+WARNING:+libxslt+3%2Fusr%2Flib%2FlibXrender.so.12-bit+development+files+not+found%2C+xslt+won%27t+be+supported
this haunts a lot of other people, some who never do figure it out.
Many thanks,
-T

But that's not true:
hyoscyamine:~% ldd /usr/lib64/libXrender.so.1
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff813fc000)
libX11.so.6 => /lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x0000003f22e00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003f20200000)
libxcb.so.1 => /lib64/libxcb.so.1 (0x0000003f22a00000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003f20600000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003f1fe00000)
libXau.so.6 => /lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x0000003f22600000)
libXrender doesn't link against libXext at all, nor do any of libXrender's header files refer to any of libXext's.
The check for libXext appears to come from wine itself, either in the expansion of AC_PATH_XTRA or from WINE_CHECK_SONAME(Xext, ...) in configure.ac. The Fedora (and presumably EPEL if it's there) wine spec file explicitly says BuildRequires: libXext-devel to pull it into the buildroot. It's a shame wine's configure script isn't better about telling you this error, I agree.
> Would you please add libXext as a dependency in libxslt/libXrender's RPM?
Neither libxslt nor libXrender actually depend on libXext, so it would be wrong to add it.
$ sudo yum install libXext-devel
should fix your problem.
