Hi,
When i try to run configure it fails asking me to install the gnutls library, which is already installed.
Output from configure:
checking for struct _xmlURI.query_raw... no checking gnutls/gnutls.h usability... yes checking gnutls/gnutls.h presence... yes checking for gnutls/gnutls.h... yes checking for gnutls_handshake in -lgnutls... no configure: error: You must install the GnuTLS library in order to compile and run libvirt
[user1@xxx libvirt-0.4.6]# rpm -qa | grep gnutls gnutls-devel-1.4.1-3.el5_1 gnutls-1.4.1-3.el5_1
After some checking in configure.in I verified that what was really missing is libgcrypt-devel.
This is a packaging bug - since gnutls depends on gcrypt, the gnutls-devel package should have Requires: libgcrypt-devel.
I believe the error message should be updated and provide more details or at least a check for libgcrypt should be done before the gnutls check.
Well libvirt is not using libgcrypt - we're using gnutls. If gnutls happens to use libgcrypt internally then it should require it. We shouldn't have to second guess what dependant libraries gnutls is requiring Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
