LFTP 4.4.15 Installation problem

[Edwin Leung - SENES Consultants]

Hi,



Please let me know if you're able to help us.



Our system is running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.1 SP2 with lftp
version 3.6 installed.



Currently it works manually but does not work through scripts.



The lftp "version" command shows nothing besides the Libraries used.



We have other systems with lftp working and it shows the following:

Libraries used: Readline 5.1

Libraries used: Expat 2.0.0



I was trying to install latest version lftp-4.4.15 and it shows the
following error at the end.



checking for LIBGNUTLS... no

configure: error: Package requirements (gnutls >= 1.0.0) were not met:



No package 'gnutls' 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 LIBGNUTLS_CFLAGS

and LIBGNUTLS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.



I checked and LIBGNUTLS libraries are already installed.



Readline 6.2 library are also installed from the link provided at your site.



Could you give us some help?





Regards,

Edwin

It's common in Linux distributions to have different packages for
runtime libraries needed to use a library and for the things you need
for develop against a library like headers, pkg-config .pc files, etc.

In the RPM world, it's commonly split into 'foobar' and 'foobar-devel'.

Check your package repositories for -devel packages if you intend to
use a library at build time.

Some distributions have ways to get all the build-dependencies for a
particular package which might get you somewhat on the way, but I'd
recommend that you verify that you've actually got -devel packages for
the things you think you do.
