From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: When compiling the openldap from SRPMS, libtool fails attempting to link with /usr/lib/libbind.a since no FC3 package provide any such file. Problem was resolved by removing from /usr/lib/libbind.la the following line: old_library='libbind.a' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-libs-9.2.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install FC3 2.Install src.rpm of openldap 3.Run rpmbuild Actual Results: libtool fails to link with /usr/lib/libbind.a Expected Results: Either libbind.a should be provided as part of bind-libs or the libbind.la should not have a reference to it (such that libtool does a shared link) Additional info:
The bind-libbind package DOES provide /usr/lib/libbind.a . If it is not there, it was somehow removed from your system and reinstalling the package should correct this. But openldap should be compiled to use libresolv.a instead of libbind - the openldap configure script incorrectly picks up libbind instead of libresolv. This openldap problem has been fixed with openldap-2.2.23-4, in FC4 - downloading this src.rpm and building it or just removing the optional bind-libbind package should fix your problem.
