[EMAIL PROTECTED] wanted us to know:

>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbfd

It's looking for libbfd.so.

>i currently have binutils-2.12.90.0.15-1mdk installed...

That provides /usr/lib/libbfd-2.14.90.0.5.so.  But you need libbfd.so.
How do you find it?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf libbfd.so
libbinutils2-devel:/usr/lib/libbfd.so

Note that the libification (style of naming the libs and devel packages)
is kinda confusing.  Wouldn't it be great if you installed the binutils
package to run things and the binutils-devel package to compile things?
Well you can!  It turns out that the libbinutils2-devel package
"provides" binutils-devel:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmq binutils-devel
libbinutils2-devel

So all you have to do is run 'urpmi binutils-devel' and it will install
it.
