It appears some dependant lib either has bloated .la file and/or has missing Req: libtool-ltdl-devel Details: From: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/3996-kipi-plugins-0.1.0-0.6.rc1.fc5/ /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o kipiplugin_kameraklient.la -rpath /usr/lib64/kde3 -module -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -L/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib -L/usr/lib64 kipiplugin_kameraklient_la.all_cpp.lo -lkparts -lkdeui -lkipi -L/usr/lib64 -lgphoto2 -lm -L/usr/lib64 -lgphoto2_port /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [kipiplugin_kameraklient.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/kipi-plugins-0.1.0-rc1/kipi-plugins/kameraklient'
gphoto2 is the culprit (bug #183367).
I'm tempted to simply workaround by adding BR: libtool-ltdl-devel here, but can't since most FE builds are dead due to "gtk2/hicolor circular dep" (bug #183361)
Workaround implemented, will keep this open so we'll know when to remove the hack when gphoto2 is fixed.
