From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: I seem to have a problem compiling certain KDE programs in FC2. Just now I've tried to compile amarok and during the make, I get this error message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux I get this exact same error when I tried to compile komba2 before too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download amarok 1.0 source code 2. Run configure as shown in the README 3. Actual Results: You get the obscure error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux Expected Results: Should be no error since this app has nothing to do with selinux Additional info: A friend of mine compiled amarok in Mandrake 10 and had no problems. So how come there are reference to selinux? selinux is disabled on my system (as per default). I dunno which component to put this in but I think it is serious enough to warrant some attention.
This is the make message below. Notice there is no -lselinux anywhere in the command but I still get this error message /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o amarokapp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib -L/usr/lib -R /usr/lib -R /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib actionclasses.o amarokfilelist.o app.o browserbar.o collectionbrowser.o collectiondb.o configdialog.o contextbrowser.o coverfetcher.o directorylist.o effectwidget.o enginecontroller.o engineobserver.o fht.o filebrowser.o kbookmarkhandler.o metabundle.o osd.o playerwindow.o playlist.o playlistbrowser.o playlistitem.o playlistloader.o playlistwindow.o pluginmanager.o searchbrowser.o sliderwidget.o socketserver.o statusbar.o streambrowser.o systray.o threadweaver.o tracktooltip.o welcomebrowser.o Options1.o Options2.o Options3.o Options4.o Options5.o amazonsetup.o directorylistbase.o ../../amarok/src/amarokcore/libamarokcore.la ../../amarok/src/analyzers/libanalyzers.la ../../amarok/src/engine/libengine.la ../../amarok/src/plugin/libplugin.la ../../amarok/src/sqlite/libsqlite.la ../../amarok/src/titleproxy/libtitleproxy.la -lkutils -lkio -lkdeui -lkdecore -lkhtml -L/usr/lib -ltag -lGL /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [amarokapp] Error 1

The problem is that kdelibs was built with fam support. The fam library has built with libselinux also. If you take a look a .la files (for example /usr/lib/libkdio.la) you will see libselinux is needed by linken
