Anything noteworthy in that config.log ?

Fix autotools version bug in configure.ac

I think there's a bug in autotools scripts(configure.ac), that doesn't set the version correctly, and thus the pkg-info installation file for libssh2 is wrong, and you get the build error when compiling libvirt.
Can you try the patch I attached?

[Comment 3 Stratos Psomadakis (RETIRED) 2011-05-09 18:37:12 UTC]

btw, the autotools scripts are fixed (in a different way) in libssh2 git repo, just one day after the release :P

[Comment 4 Stratos Psomadakis (RETIRED) 2011-05-09 18:54:17 UTC]

And for a very quick workaround, you can just edit /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libssh2.pc and set the version correctly.

[Comment 5 Rafał Mużyło 2011-05-09 19:50:34 UTC]

Actually, upstream fix is more correct, as yours uses obsolete macro variant, even though the whole problem is caused by upstream doing odd things with $VERSION in the first place.

[Comment 6 Stratos Psomadakis (RETIRED) 2011-05-09 19:58:38 UTC]

Yeap, I know, but I posted a 'quickfix' patch (based on the working 1.2.7 release), before checking out the upstream repo.
Anyway, someone from the netmon herd maintainers should propably do a revision bump, including any of the fixes proposed.
