[Lazarus] Fedora 18: problems with package conflicts

[Bart]

Hi,

I just installed Fedora 18 in a VirtualBox (Host: Win7).
I just went with the defaults, and installed binutils.

I manged to download and install fpc 2.6.2 (from installscript) and it
seems to run fine.
I checked out the lazarus sources from svn.
Did
make all OPT="-gl -gs"

And it failed (not unexpectedly)  with
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

So i think I need devel packages for libc, libdl (?) and libpthread
(?), the latter 2 AFAIK provided by glibc-devel.

I tried to install libc-devel package (using apper), but this failed:
Test Transaction Errors:
file /usr/lib/audit from install of glibc-2.16-30.fc18.i686
conflicts with file from package
audit-2.2.2-2.fc18.i686

Same for glibc-devel.

Trying to remove audit package results in same error message.

So basically I'm stuck now.

Two more things about this Fedora bug me:

1.
I cannot copy contents from xterm to clipboard (at least not by mouse)
2.
sudo does not accept my root password, but yet I can login as root,
and can use su to become root. "apper" also at times does not accept
my root paswoord. Only way out is to reboot (the common Windows
solution...)
(Maybe my sudo syntax is wrong, but I tried "sudo ./install"  on the
fpc install shellscript)

Can anyone help?
