System: NetBSD dr-teeth 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (TEETH) #8: Sun Jul 4 12:48:00 EDT 1999 nocturne@dr-teeth:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TEETH i386


>Description:

Lesstif 0.89.4, the current pkgsrc version, cannot build while a
previous version (0.87.1) is installed under the same prefix as the
new build is configured to use.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

Have lesstif-0.87.1 installed from a previous pkgsrc build. Try to
build the current lesstif (lesstif-0.89.4). It will build along
happily for a while, but eventually fail with this error:

This is caused because the linking, by its syntax, finds the obsolete
-lXm before the newly built one, and thus cannot find the symbol
LtXpmReadFileToImage which was added to libXm between the obsolete
library version and the new revision.

	
>Fix:
Dunno. This may not have a good fix. There's no elegant solution that
involves only the packaging system. But I thought I'd report it for
completeness, if nothing else.
