I have the latest SUSE 9.1 x86_64 bit version installed. I am having problems compiling programs (that require kde at least).

I can't configure without performing a export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64

after which configure runs fine... but at the make stage I get the following error

grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory

Shouldn't it be looking for the file in /usr/lib64

How can I change it so that it will use the /usr/lib64 libraries?

This is my ld.so.conf...

/usr/X11R6/lib64/Xaw95
/usr/X11R6/lib64/Xaw3d

Nobody else has problems compiling on a 64bit system?

where did you get 9.1

I live in Germany, and it was shipped around the middle of the month... It is by far the best version of SUSE (and my humble opinion the best distro) ever. The only problem I have is this stupid compiling issue :-(

Still no one else with similar problems, or better yet solutions for similar problems :-)

I use Suse 64bit 9.1, and I still can't find the compilers. I can't just use gcc or cc or any other command, the response is command not found. I feel your pain.
