dump-0.4b44 is not compilable on Fedora 15:

make[1]: *** [dump] Error 1
Dump uses error_message() function which is present in the libcom_err.so library so it needs to be explicitly added to the linker command line. I will attach proposed patch.
Proposed patch, link binaries against libcom_err
Confirmed. Same patch is required and is applied in Gentoo. Hm, I should tighten my system somehow to avoid such regressions in future as in default configuration dump builds fine here...
fixed here by adding com_err linkage:
