Ok, I created a .pc file with the output of xmlrpc-c-config (now pkg-config xmlrpc_client --libs --cflags is OK). The error occurs not in configure execution, but in make execution as a linking error like that: undefined reference to `xmlrpc_client_call and several others similar (as I said in the first message) I have installed the latest version of xmlrpc compiled from source. Any idea? On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 7:25 AM, Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> wrote:

Well, the basic problem seems to be that xmlrpc-c by itself doesn't provide a .pc file for pkg-config, but has its own script for this task called xmlrpc-c-config:
xmlrpc-c-config client --cflags xmlrpc-c-config client --libs
Okay
So, Fedora seems to provide an .pc file for xmlrpc-c so that this works on Fedora:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XMLRPC, xmlrpc_client >= $XMLRPC_REQUIRED, ...)
But other distros don't provide a .pc or only provide an old version of xmlrpc-c, like Ubuntu. Ubuntu only provides 1.06 without an additional .pc file. So I build 1.17 from source, but that doesn't help as there is no .pc file for xmlrpc-c.
I think the check in configure.in should be changed to use xmlrpc-c-config instead of pkg-config.
Hum, yes if the .pc is not upstream, that's logical, though IMHO it's probably time better spent to try to get a .pc in xmlrpc-c upstream.
And then add a xmlrpc-c-config based check in configure.in if PKG_CHECK_MODULES fails.
