Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 185544
64-bits development libraries are needed to build frysk on PPC64
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:27 EST
Description of problem: PPC64 is a bi-arch platform. We need to build frysk as 64-bits binary to handle both 64-bits and 32-bits application. But it seems that there are only 32-bits development libraries in PPC64 platform. This will impact the building of frysk in 64-bits mode. It might also impact other development projects too. For frysk, the following 64-bits development libraries is needed: (under /usr/lib64) ./libatk-1.0.so -> libatk-1.0.so.0.800.0 ./libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.0.5.0 ./libfontconfig.so -> libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 ./libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6.3.7 ./libglib-2.0.so -> libglib-2.0.so.0.400.7 ./libgmodule-2.0.so -> libgmodule-2.0.so.0.400.7 ./libgobject-2.0.so -> libgobject-2.0.so.0.400.7 ./libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0 ./libpng12.so -> libpng12.so.0.1.2.7 ./libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.3.6 ./libvte.so -> libvte.so.4.4.0 ./libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.16 Their pkgconfig description files are also needed in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig. I had to create them by hand to make the building continue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. search in the directory /usr/lib, you will find these libraries; 2. search in the directory /usr/lib64, you won't find these libraries; 3. Actual results: Expected results: These libraries is in /usr/lib64, their pakcage config files is in /usr/lib64/pkfconfig.
> ./libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.16 ???? Libxml2 in FC5t3 is 2.6.23, certainly not 2.6.16 ! > search in the directory /usr/lib64, you won't find these libraries; I don't have ppc64 but on x86_64 [root@localhost ~]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libxml2.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 15 15:20 /usr/lib64/libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.23 > This will impact the building of frysk in 64-bits mode Heck libxml2 compiles on MVS ! It has compiled on Linux 64bits "forever", I don't understand the problem, I don't see anything specific to ppc or 64 bits in the spec file. rpm -qilp libxml2-2.6.23-1.2.ppc64.rpm | grep lib64 warning: libxml2-2.6.23-1.2.ppc64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2.6.23 the package has the files it should in /usr/lib64. At this point this report sounds bogus to me, I don't know how you ended up with the wrong libs installed... Daniel
Hi Daniel, Really sorry for reporting bogus information here. Yesterday evening, I am in such a hurry that I simply copy and paste these information here. They are for RHEL4 U3 instead. OK. let me re-describe the problem here, wishing that it can help to clarify the problem. Just as you said, libxml2 for in FC5 (I am using FC5 test2) is 2.6.23, here is the files on PPC64: [root@plinuxt18 ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1839088 Jan 5 23:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 19 16:04 /usr/lib/libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 19 15:55 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.23 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1401684 Jan 5 23:59 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.23 [root@plinuxt18 ~]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libxml2.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 19 15:55 /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.23 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1829944 Jan 6 00:00 /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2.6.23 You can see from above, there is no link in /usr/lib64 from libxml2.so to /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2.6.23; In /usr/lib64/pkgconfig, there is no libxml- 2.0.pc either. Seeing that, I am guess the problem does not lie in the compiling or building phase, but in the packaging phase instead. [root@plinuxt18 ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat="%{NAME}-%{ARCH}-%{VERSION}\n" |grep libxml2 libxml2-ppc64-2.6.23 libxml2-devel-ppc-2.6.23 libxml2-python-ppc-2.6.23 libxml2-ppc-2.6.23 You can see that there is no libxml2-devel for ppc64. I guess this is the problem, if only we can provide a libxml2-devel-2.6.23-1.2.ppc64.rpm, that will ok I believe. What is your thought on this? Thanks.
> You can see that there is no libxml2-devel for ppc64 That doesn't match what I see internally dist/4E/libxml2/2.6.16-6/ppc64 -> ls libxml2-2.6.16-6.ppc64.rpm libxml2-devel-2.6.16-6.ppc64.rpm libxml2-debuginfo-2.6.16-6.ppc64.rpm libxml2-python-2.6.16-6.ppc64.rpm dist/4E/libxml2/2.6.16-6/ppc64 -> rpm -qilp libxml2-devel-2.6.16-6.ppc64.rpm | grep pkgconfig /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc dist/4E/libxml2/2.6.16-6/ppc64 -> So the libxml2-devel-2.6.23-1.2.ppc64.rpm has been built. I don't see them on Red Hat Network, I have no idea why but apparently all devel packages for ppc64 are 32 bits only. I assume it was a distro policy to do so. Ask your Red hat contact about this, there is no way I am gonna push out packages against what seems a distro policy, you must contact your support person. In practice, you can grab the src.rpm and rebuild it, but of course that's not standard and may void your support if you install them. Technically I don't see this as a bug, code wise and package wise libxml2 is fine, you won't get a resolution to this via bugzilla. Again talk to your contact, I don't feel there is anything I can do... Daniel
Repoening, if the bug isn't in libxml, please re-assign to relevant responsibility.
No idea what's happened, no news, closing as WONTFIX, Daniel
