[Playerstage-users] Stage make error - cannot find -lltdl

[J P. <j.p...@bt...>]

I am new to linux and player/stage and hope to learn both at the same time, but have a problem installing stage which I hope is trivial to fix
 
 I have installed player and when I check for the installed libraries with pkg-config --libs playercore I get the correct return as stated in the installation notes (having had to export the path with export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH)
 
 I then come to install stage and at make get the following:
 
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make[3]: *** [libstageplugin.la] Error 1
 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jdpuddy/workspace/Downloads/stage-2.0.0/src'
 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jdpuddy/workspace/Downloads/stage-2.0.0/src'
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jdpuddy/workspace/Downloads/stage-2.0.0'
 make: *** [all] Error 2
 
 src/stest worlds/simple.world robot1
 
 fails with no src/stest directory
 
 can someone help me with what is going wrong with the install, and what (in simple terms - ideally step by step lines) what I need to do to fix it?
 
 thanks - oh for note the os is Fedora Core 4
