Seconded.
And if anyone has gcc47 or libpng FTBFS issues, this is a great place
to ask for help on them.
I have with VirtualBox (again)
but is a Kbuild problem
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7356
The biggest problem (now) is with one package on fedora kbuild ?
kmk_sed stops to work correctly on F17 .
/usr/bin/kmk_sed:
file /builddir/build/BUILD/VirtualBox-4.1.8_OSE/src/VBox/Runtime/common/err/errmsg.sed
line 31: Unmatched [ or [^
see this bug report, please:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10160
any clue is welcomed
Thanks,
