On the basis of the theory of Sturm--Liouville problem with distribution coefficients we get the infima and suprema of the first eigenvalue of the problem $-y + (q-lambda) y=0, y(0) -k_0^2 y(0) = y(1) + k_1^2 y(1) = 0$, where $q$ belongs to the set o
f constant-sign summable functions on $[0,1]$ such that $int_0^1 q dx=pm 1$.
