Compile totem package Actual Results: libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libxml2.la' error Expected Results: Totem compiles and is packaged Additional info:
Found out this is due to linking with gnome-vfs2 which depends on libxm2.la in its .la file. Davidz is going to recompile which should clear up my problem. You might want to post to fedora-maintainers-list to notify anyone else about how the change may effect other packages.
Okay, then NOTABUG ! Daniel
