[blfs-support] wget-1.18 and gpgme-1.6.0

When I run the wget configure script it finds my gpgme installation, but in the summary, when the script finishes, it states "GPGME No". Grepping config.log shows that wget has found gpgme but still it states "no" in the summary. This isn't really an issue for me, but I'm intrigued. Does anybody

I'm assuming autofs is the automounter. Can't you stop or change the automounting behaviour by editing the autofs configuration files? I don't know how this message will format as I'm using my phone :-( Richard -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ:

[blfs-support] libgcrypt-1.6.4

Under "Command Explanations" it reads "--with-capabilities: This option enables libcap2 support". May we have a health warning here because if this option is enabled, and the user goes on to build and install cryptsetup, they will find that their cryptsetup build is completely broken. Result:-

[blfs-support] libgpg-error-1.20

In the book the configure line expresses --disable-static, but it's unnecessary because the static libraries are *not* built by default. Richard -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information
