I have had absolutely no luck today either and I really need help with
this.

I am configuring and compiling the 1.0.10 like this:

./configure --localstatedir=/var --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no
make
make install

I have tried with ./configure --localstatedir=/var --disable-ppp
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=no

and same problem.

I am using Debian Wheezy with MM 1.4.12 and NM 1.0.10. MM works flawlessly
but I cannot seem to use NM to set up a connection (PPP).

Any ideas what I'm not doing right? Anyone?

Thanks
