loosechanjAll I wanted to do was compile the latest beta of Gaim. Damn, no ssl libraries.
Hey, this is CentOS! It's like RedHat! I'll give the RPM a shot! Damn, it wants pspell. Ok, find rpm for pspell. Gosh, that was easy. Well shit, pspell wants aspell. Find rpm for aspell. Not that hard. Ok. Well shit sherriff, aspell tells me a later version is installed![1]
Ok. I'm betting the problem is, knowing DeadRat, the dev headers aren't installed. By this point, I could give two shits and reboot into Windows.
Edit: Of course none of the devel stuff was installed. Finding that necessitated a trip to the install cd, and the website for updated RPMs (that wouldn't have been installed even if I had decided to throw in the kitchen sink![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pdx6... :-P). Still no joy, until I dug through config.log and noticed "libgcrypt not found".
I'm gonna go have a stroke now.
[1] Most of my dealings with RPMs end this way.
