Description of problem: libcom_err-devel in RHEL6.7 does not provide /usr/include/com_err.h which causes trouble for various applications (including sssd) Steps to reproduce (after bug #1170272 ("[RFE] Add LocalAuth plugin API") lands): Try to compile this testcase... -- snip -- #include <krb5/krb5.h> #include <krb5/localauth_plugin.h> int main(int ac, char *av[]) { return 0; } -- snip -- ... it will fail with: -- snip -- /usr/include/kadm5/admin.h:48:28: error: com_err.h: No such file or directory -- snip -- The same will happen with the sssd build in RHEL6.7: -- snip -- configure:21977: checking for krb5/localauth_plugin.h configure:22003: gcc -c -O0 -ggdb -pipe -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=unused-function -Wunused-variable -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE conftest.c >&5 In file included from /usr/include/krb5/localauth_plugin.h:65, from conftest.c:126: /usr/include/kadm5/admin.h:48:28: error: com_err.h: No such file or directory -- snip -- Suggested fix: Backport newest libcom_err package version to RHEL6.7
COM_ERR(3) COM_ERR(3) NAME com_err - common error display routine SYNOPSIS #include <et/com_err.h> # rpm -qpl libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-21.el6.x86_64.rpm | grep include /usr/include/et /usr/include/et/com_err.h Somebody is including the wrong header file path, but that's not an e2fsprogs bug.
and pkg-config returns correct location of header files. bash-4.1# pkg-config --cflags com_err -I/usr/include/et bash-4.1# rpm -q libcom_err-devel libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-21.el6.x86_64
I think the biggest question is why does krb5 need the header at all? It's not required in el7..
