Hi there, I am trying to install dbus-glib-0.74 from the blfs-6.3-rc2 book. I have installed dbus-1.0.2, Glib-2.12.12 and expat-2.0.1 succesfully.
The configure of dbus-glib-0.74 fails because it cannot find the the dbus development libraries. Below I have copied the last few lines of the configure output, there is one more error before the fatal one... checking if msgfmt accepts -c... yes checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext ./configure: line 26052: ./po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory checking for XML_ParserCreate_MM in -lexpat... yes checking expat.h usability... yes checking expat.h presence... yes checking for expat.h... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for DBUS... no configure: error: DBus development libraries not found The dbus libraries are installed in /usr/lib I have tried to run ldconfig, and restarted my system. But the same error remains. The dbus daemon is not running yet, though i have not yet tried to install dbus-glib with a running dbus daemon I don't think that should be the problem. I failed to find where I went wrong, I tried to follow the book exactly and I have searched for typo's in my script more than once :) On the mailing lists I could not find a similar problem. Maybe some can point me in the right direction.
