I'm running Fedora-3 with KDE. I've been trying to get a recent version of NM working on my laptop. (I was told this might help get NM running with my Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card.) I first tried to install NetworkManager-0.4-6.cvs20050404.i386.rpm but this came up with a huge list of required packages which are not available in Fedora Core updates. I don't want to install a large number of rawhide packages, as the last time I did this it caused confusion (mainly due to the new python) which took a long time to correct. So then I downloaded the CVS files following the instructions at <http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/downloadcontribute.html>, and ran "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc" as advised. This failed at the "configure" stage, but created a configure file. On running configure I get the error below, saying that I require hal >= 0.2.91 , although I appear to have hal-0.4.7. Apparently configure is lookint for the file hal.pc which does not appear to be part of my system. ================================================ [tim@martha NetworkManager]$ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c ... checking for hal >= 0.2.91... Package hal was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `hal.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'hal' found configure: error: Library requirements (hal >= 0.2.91) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. [tim@martha NetworkManager]$ grep hal /var/log/rpmpkgs hal-0.4.7-1.FC3.i386.rpm hal-cups-utils-0.5.2-8.i386.rpm [tim@martha NetworkManager]$ locate hal.pc [tim@martha NetworkManager]$ ================================================ Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
