I read the message you mentioned and recompiled tcp_wrappers_7.6 to see.
One of the undefined symbols (ie, 'yp_get_default_domain') now gets
resolved but the two others (allow_severity, deny_severity)  persist. In
that, my problem seems to be different from that of others.

I compiled tcp_wrappers_7.6 against glibc 2.0.?. My system is based on
mcc-interim.

I simply renamed libwrap.a so that configure wouldn't detect it. Are the
features provided by libwrap.a indispensable for running gnome ?
