Description of problem: There is a misconfiguration between the standard packages for gnucobol. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > cobc (GnuCOBOL) 3.1.2.0 > Built Jan 20 2022 00:00:00 Packaged Dec 23 2020 12:04:58 UTC > C version "12.0.1 20220118 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0)" > loading standard configuration file 'default.conf' > cobc: error: no input files How reproducible: Should be very reproducible. Download the GNU Cobol compiler and attempt to compile a program. I was following a guide linked below when this error occurred, though I believe the error is with the packages, not with the guide. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf -y install gnucobol 2. cobc -v # output above 3. vi helloworld.cbl # enter basic program from guide below 4. cobc -x helloworld.cbl # this fails Actual results: Error in console: > $ cobc -x helloworld.cbl > /usr/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file /builddir/build/BUILD/.package_note-gnucobol-3.1.2-5.fc36.x86_64.ld: No such file or directory > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Expected results: It returns status 0 and compiles the program Additional info: The Guide I was following (with example program): https://fedoramagazine.org/getting-started-with-cobol-development-on-fedora-linux-33/ Forum post indicating a temporary workaround: https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?328481-gnucobol-installation-fedora-36&p=1859194 Key excerpt: > If you need to compile cobol source you can, if you uninstall gnucobol and libcob, > then download and install libcob-3.1.2-4.fc35.x86_64.rpm and > gnucobol-3.1.2-4.fc35.x86_64.rpm which will work. Install them together. > ... > Don't let the system auto update or the fedora 35 packages will be upgraded. > This is only a work around until the maintainers fix it.
