[vbox-dev] Link problem on x86_64

[Larry Finger]

In trying to build the latest SVN code, I get messages as follows:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible 
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../libXext.so when searching for -lXext

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

My libXext.* links and files in /usr/lib64 are:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 113578 2007-09-21 13:48 /usr/lib64/libXext.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    904 2007-09-21 13:48 /usr/lib64/libXext.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2007-10-12 06:10 /usr/lib64/libXext.so -> libXext.so.6.4.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2007-10-12 06:00 /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  70024 2007-09-21 13:48 /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6.4.0

Is my lbXext too old, or is there a different problem?

Thanks,

Larry
