Re: [gnome-love] Build failure: libtool not finding /usr/lib/libsoup-2.2.la

[Sarfraaz Ahmed <asarfraaz novell com>]

Hi,

Make sure that you have no errors for the checks about libsoup in 
config.log of evolution-exchange. Libtool isnt finding the libsoup it 
wants [ guess you have 2.4.la instead in your install prefix ? ] in your 
install prefix, and thats why is trying to find it in /usr/lib. Make 
sure you rerun autogen.sh [ or configure ] after the required libsoup 
library is present in ur install prefix.

P.S : Probably you can post about this problem to the evolution-hackers 
mailing list.
