[Mageia-dev] removing .la files harmful ?

Sat Nov 26 15:40:14 CET 2011

Hello list.
+
+I can't rebuild ntop anymore, due to missing libxml2.la file, which 
+seems to be required by libtool:
+
+/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -O2 -g -pipe -Wformat 
+-Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector 
+--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fstack-protector-all -I/usr/local/include 
+-I/opt/local/include -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes 
+-Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs   -release 4.1.0 -export-dynamic 
+  -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id 
+-Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -o libntop.la 
+-rpath /usr/lib64 address.lo argv.lo dataFormat.lo event.lo 
+globals-core.lo hash.lo iface.lo initialize.lo leaks.lo ntop.lo pbuf.lo

+-lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm  -lGeoIP
+/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libxml2.la: No such file or directory
+/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libxml2.la: No such file or directory
+libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive
+
+Any hint welcome.
