Needed alteration

There is a patch that needs to be applied to one of the installed headers to allow C++ programs/libraries (e.g. KdeLibs) to link correctly. You can find the patch referenced in the KDE mailing list Re: libart_lgpl 2.3.18+ breaks kdelibs3. Perform the following commands to fix the library:

sed -i -e '/^void \*art_alloc/i #ifdef __cplusplus\nextern "C" {\n#endif' \
       -e '/^void \*art_realloc/a #ifdef __cplusplus\n}\n#endif' \
       /usr/include/libart-2.0/linart_lgpl/art_misc.h
