The moduleset was broken; I've put libdaemon back in the freedesktop
modules file again in that directory on the server.  It should work
now.

Thanks for catching this.

My pleasure :-)

I copied the entry from another freedesktop modules myself after
figuring out a bit more how the whole thing works. It allowed me to move
on to the next problem:

GTK+
----
gtk+ configure complained about no libtiff. I modified its autogenargs
to include --without-libtiff. I didn't even try installing the correct
dev package on my system. (Should libtiff be added to the
pre-requisites?)

libdaemon
---------
libdaemon configure complained about missing lynx. I installed it.
(Should lynx be added to the pre-requisites?)

avahi
-----
avahi configure first complained about gdbm. Installing libgdbm-dev
solved that.

Then it complained about D-Bus bindings for Python. Installing the
distro packages for this did no good, I assume that is since jhbuild
pulls in its own python, right? Adding --disable-python-dbus allowed me
to move on.

Then it complained about gdbm bindings for Python. This is where I gave
up. :-(


I must admit I'm slightly disappointed in 2.15.4. I know it's a
development release but I was hoping it'd be at least buildable. Any
guidance on how to move on will be most appreciated.


Elijah, any pointers on bug #344521? (Sorry, couldn't help myself :-)
