From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050331 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: I'm trying to get libuser running on Gentoo Linux, and it seems that the configure script hardcodes the python version to 2.2. I am using python-2.3, and this causes compilation to fail because it can't find the python headers, because its in /usr/include/python2.3, not /usr/include/python2.2, as it assumes. I also can't seem to find any homepage for libuser, or a place to download it in any format other than RPMs or SRPMS... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libuser-0.53.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have python-2.3 installed 2. Run ./configure 3. make 4. watch make fail Actual Results: Make fails due to a missing header file. It attempts to find it in /usr/include/python-2.2, whichh doesn't exist when python-2.3 is installed. Additional info:
I apparently had overlooked the --with-python-version flag for ./configure. Regardless, it would seem like something configure should be able to detect automatically.
libuser is available via anonymous cvs at :pserver:anonymous.com/usr/local/CVS, module "libuser"; there are no separate tarball releases currently. Python autodetection added in libuser-0.53.5-1. Thanks for your report.
