Hello list,

   To get around some of the strange kdebase build failures on Arch Linux, I 
create a fresh virtual machine in VirtualBox with a minimal install (X and 
fluxbox) to build Trinity in a clean build environment. Qt3 and tqtinterface 
build fine. We have run into an arts build failure where it won't use the shared 
library in its own directory. The error I get is:

/usr/bin/ranlib libgsl.a

   libmcop.so.1 is readily available in the mcop directory, so I don't 
understand the error:

17:47 trinity:~/tbld/dependencies/arts> find . -name libmcop.so.1
./src/mcop/libmcop.so.1

   My cmake environment and arguments are:

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/qt/include:/opt/qt/include/tqt
trinity_prefix="/opt/trinity"

cd ${srcdir}
cmake ../ \
   -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${trinity_prefix} \
   -DQT_LIBRARY_DIRS=/opt/qt/lib \
   -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON
make VERBOSE=1

   The two exports and -DQT_LIBRARY_DIRS=/opt/qt/lib are required or cmake will 
not find the patched Qt3 (that may be normal, I don't know)

   Any ideas on how to get arts to see its libmcop.so.1?
