I don't see that this is a defect -- I didn't specify a
development environment in the base install, but did add the RPMs I
knew I'd need (gcc, make, etc.). I did not know I'd need
kernel-headers for postfix -- I haven't needed it for any of the
smaller program I've compiled so far.
I do think it would be nice to mention, in the Linux README,
that kernel-headers is a requirement, alongside the db3 requirement.

That makes sense, but I still don't know which specific file
is missing. All the files in my LinuxPPC /lib directory that contain
the strings yp_match, yp_get_default_domain, and R_PPC_REL24 also
exist in my YDL /lib directory (modulo version numbers), and error
compiles successfully under LinuxPPC. Are the NIS library files
elsewhere??

I also see that YDL puts a couple libs which error uses in
/usr/lib, but copying them to /lib didn't alleviate the error
building error.
