As you mention having a support contract, if you are looking to get support, rather than simply report a bug, you would be best off going to http://www.redhat.com/support, or calling 888-REDHAT1
Hi, I do have support, but it's through a hardware vendor. And they don't know what to do with bug reports for RedHat. In fact, they don't know what to do with RedHat service calls in general. Is this the right place to submit such a bug report? Or should I attempt to convince my hardware vendor that it is a bug and they should care? thanks, adam
This is the right place for a bug report, but not the right place for support. If all you are trying to do is report a bug, then this is the right place, and thank you! If you need support, though, this is not the right place.
Cool. I'm happy. Fix it please? ;-)
(In reply to comment #0) This file should exist Adam, in /usr/lib/pkg-config as libgsf-1.pc automake should be looking at that file for the gsf lib you are looking for. If you run pkg-config --libs libgsf-1.pc you will get the Answer you are looking for!!!!
