When building kdelibs, I always get the following error: ../../kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=../../kdoctools --check --cache index.cache.bz2 ./index.docbook ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. The make appears not to be able to be done with fakeroot, but as far as I understand, makepkg always does that. The solution is to build as root. Is there any other way to avoid this?
