-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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).
