Description of problem: Elinks not built with GPM support. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): elinks-0.12-0.19.pre5.fc12 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure gpm is running 2. Start elinks from tty 3. Attempt to use mouse to click buttons, access menus or otherwise interact with application Actual results: Mouse cursor fails to interact with any UI elements, and is always in highlight→copy mode. Expected results: Mouse interaction as expected (same as if running elinks under X). When Shift key is held down, GPM highlight→copy behaviour is obtained. Additional info: If I remove the '%rescue' line from the spec file and rebuild elinks myself, I obtain the proper functionality.
Thanks for report, however this %{?rescue:--without-gpm} configure option is used only when rescue is set. This is not the case of koji build system. Last package was built with those options: ./configure --build=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --target=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --without-x --with-gssapi --enable-bittorrent --with-nss_compat_ossl As you can see, there is no --without-gpm option - so just removing this option from spec file will solve nothing. It seems that gpm-devel build require is missing. Built with gpm support as elinks-0.12-0.20.pre5.fc13, will prepare F-12 update.
Thanks Ondrej (and sorry for the red herring about the recovery setting). All works well for me with elinks-0.12-0.20.pre5.fc12.i686.rpm; I think this can be closed.
Thanks for the fix confirmation, it will get closed automatically once the update reach stable.
