While it seems to build and install fine, the configure script being used or generated for gnome-volume-manager has an error in it. checking whether to enable debugging... no checking whether to enable run-time multiuser checks... no ./configure: line 6335: directory: command not found checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes Without Gentoo patches, the error is: checking whether to enable debugging... yes checking whether to enable run-time multiuser checks... yes ./configure: line 5414: directory: command not found checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes It appears that the AC_ACTION_IF_NOT_GIVEN parameter of AC_ARG_WITH in configure.in is wrong upstream. I am not sure, but I think the block: dnl Directory to check for console ownership AC_ARG_WITH(console-auth-dir,AS_HELP_STRING([--with-console-auth-dir=[dirname]]),,[directory to check for console ownership]) if ! test -z "$with_console_auth_dir"; then GVM_CONSOLE_AUTH_DIR=$with_console_auth_dir else GVM_CONSOLE_AUTH_DIR=/var/run/console/ fi should be: dnl Directory to check for console ownership AC_ARG_WITH(console-auth-dir,AS_HELP_STRING([--with-console-auth-dir=[dirname]]),[GVM_CONSOLE_AUTH_DIR=$with_console_auth_dir],[GVM_CONSOLE_AUTH_DIR=/var/run/console/]) If somebody else agrees with that assessment and doesn't want to create a patch, I'll create one to attach here and submit upstream.
Looks like a correct fix to me.
Hi Brant... is there a bug open upstream ? Can you please give the url ? I think this problem hasn't changed on cvs head.
I don't think I have filed an upstream bug. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=gurganbl@rose-hulman.edu&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Bug+Number&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= do double check. If you want it reported upstream, it is probably best for somebody else to do it as I am not currently running a Linux on my system.
There are newer version of gvm available in portage. If this bug still happens with those, don't hesitate to reopen this bug and to update the summary. Thanks :)
