Re: networkmanager-list Digest, Vol 75, Issue 18

[khateeb ahmad <khateeb_nsit yahoo com>]

Hello,
     I am working in NetworkManager.
     [root localhost NetworkManager]# uname -a
                                      Linux-2.6.27.41-170.2.117 

     I download..
     http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/
     git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.git
    
     cd NetworkManager
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var 

/*:---Problem----:  
   checking for GUDEV... configure: error: Package requirements (gudev-1.0) were not met:

No package 'gudev-1.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GUDEV_CFLAGS
and GUDEV_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
*/

Problem:-Not compiled in NetworkManager......


Thanks
khateeb
