I added gd-devel-2.0.35-1.fc8.x86_64. That changed the error to "can
not find -lgdk" I think that is what I did! But if I remove that
package the error does not go back to
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libglib.so when searching for -lglib
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib

I have reinstalled gd-devel-2.0.35-1.fc8.x86_64.
I then added gkk-pixbuf-devel-1.0.22.0-35.fc8.x86_64. The error
remains "can not find -lgdk".
I then added gd-prog-2.0.35-1.fc8.x86_64. Same error.
There are packages referring to glib and glib-devel and gtk+ that are
not installed but they are i386 packages. I am assuming I do not need
them.
