Help with libdaemon and ifplugd
 
I installed libdaemon (./configure, make, make install, make clean) and then I try to configure ifplugg but I always get the error
Quote:
checking for libdaemon >= 0.5 ... Package libdaemon was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdaemon.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdaemon' found

configure: error: Library requirements ( libdaemon >= 0.5 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
What am I doing wrong?

Since you posted this last night, I'm sure your search database has already been updated, so:

Code:
slocate libdaemon.pc
That will tell you where libdaemon.pc is, like /path/to/file/libdaemon.pc . When you go to configure ifplugg,
you are probably just using:
Code:
./configure
The message is saying that it may work if you try:

Code:
./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/file
That has worked for me in the past with similar problems.

:(
I've tried it with and without quotes, nothing seems to have any effect :(

Code:
[08:38:43]root@laptop:/home/dan/ifplugd-0.26$> ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
Does this work? Note, the message says to specify the directory only, not to specify the filename.

That worked :)
Thanks for your help.
