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
