rm -rf /usr/lib/*.la did not work

*-*.*.la: No such file or directory

Code: [Select]

/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.la: No such file or directory    
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.la: No such file or directory  
libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive  
make[3]: *** [geanyvc.la] Error 1                    

From our boss Texstar

Try first as root from terminal for 64 bit arch

Code: [Select]

rm -rf /usr/lib64/*.la
or for 32 bit

Code: [Select]

rm -rf /usr/lib/*.la
-l

It's been a while since I last run into a similar problem with *.la, and I can't remember how I managed to fix those issues before but on a package I am rebuilding ...

Code: [Select]

/bin/grep: /lib/libusb-1.0.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /lib/libusb-1.0.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/lib/libusb-1.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive
I've already try the rm -rf /usr/lib/*.la and a couple of others but still persistent on the above error. Any ideas?

Good eyes, Terry ... but that's not it either. But it got built when I installed libusb1.0-static-devel. All the same, thank you for your help.

[TerryN]

That would work too because it links against the static version of libusb.
but I thought we were not supposed to be doing that http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,100920.msg857540.html#msg857540

[Archie]

You're right, we're not supposed to be doing that. I investigated and indeed there was a /lib/libusb.la so I deleted it and ran the build again which went OK. That should not be a problem, right?

[TerryN]

That should not be a problem, right?

Sounds good to me.
