Build Failure on OpenSuSE 10.2 AMD 64 and Solution

[Andreas Schaefer]

Hi Geeks

I moved to my development box which is a dual core AMD64 machine with
OpenSuSE 10.2. Firing up the build is failing with:

>>>Recursively making policytool all @ Sat May 12 18:25:56 PDT 2007 ...

After installing X11-devel and X11-Server I could go with the build even
though I have no clue what fixed it.

Have fun - Andy
