From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: I downloaded kernel 2.6.14-1653 source, did rpmbuild -bp, then did make xconfig. I got the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 I tracked this down to the $(obj)/.tmp_qtcheck target. It uses the g++ -print-multi-os-directory flag, which gives ../lib64. It then uses that to set the LIBPATH to /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/../lib64, which does not exist. Simply deleting the following two lines allows make xconfig to work: $(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory > /dev/null 2>&1 && \ LIBPATH=$$DIR/lib/$$($(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory); \ After this change, LIBPATH is set to /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download kernel SRPM 2.On an Opteron machine, install the SRPM 3.rpmbuild -bp 4.make xconfig Actual Results: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 Expected Results: It should open the config screen. Additional info:
can you test if this is fixed in the 2.6.15 based kernel at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4 ?
The new kernel SRPM fixes this bug - now I can make xconfig with no problems. Thanks much for the speedy fix!
ok, there's another 2.6.14 kernel going out as an update in a few days, which won't have this fixed, but it'll be in the first 2.6.15 kernel to hit FC4.
