Hi all,

While bored, I decided to look for a project to help develop for. I found
a suitable one (gnome-mud for the interested) and checked out the CVS
sources... yadda yadda, I run configure, but alas! it complains of not
finding the 'gdl' library. So, being the keen Mandrake user I am, I try
'urpmi gdl' and 'urpmi gdl-devel', to no avail. I fire up rpmdrake, do a
search for 'gdl', and find nothing.

So I google for 'gdl', and find it's the GNOME devtools library. Once 
again, I search for mandrake packages like "devtools" in vain. I consult 
someone for help, and he tells me to see if "gnome-devel" has it, but it 
appears to not (as it was installed and ./configure still wouldn't detect 
gdl).

It seems that 'gdl' *is* a real library (as opposed to a fake one), able 
to be built from teh gnome sources, but that it's not available as a 
package (at least not a Mandrake rpm).

Well, I'm no packager, so I humbly request that someone take the time to 
package this library and put it up for inclusion in cooker and future 
releases of Mandrake.

PS: I'm not subscribed to cooker@ for pure volume concerns, so please make 
sure any replies to me go to both the list and myself (I believe pine 
does this automatically).

Thank you.
