./configure NNTPgrab: "Curl library couldn't be found"

Added by surfer about 1 year ago

I'm running ./configure on Debian Wheezy on Raspi (nntpgrab-0.7.2). It results in:

checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no
checking if GLIB >= 2.14.0... yes
checking for libcurl... configure: error: 
Curl library couldn't be found *** Try using --with-libcurl_libraries

I tried "./configure --with-libcurl_libraries", but that gives the same error.
I have already installed the packages libcurl4-gnutls-dev and then libcurl4-openssl-dev.

Tips how to solve this?

It is recommended to install the -dev package for libsoup instead. This will also give you access to the Online Search feature

OK, installing the package libsoup2.4-dev solved that problem. Thank you.

I believe this is what I needed to install on the Raspi to run nntpgrab-0.7.2's ./configure without problems:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libsoup2.4-dev
sudo apt-get install intltool

I'm now running 'make': 'cc1' is eating all the Raspi's CPU. ;-)

I'll report back if it succeeds.

Update: the make and the make install went without problems, but starting nttpgrab_* does not work:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ nntpgrab_gui 
nntpgrab_gui: error while loading shared libraries: libnntpgrab_utils.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ nntpgrab_server_gtk 
nntpgrab_server_gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libnntpgrab_utils.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ nntpgrab_server
nntpgrab_server: error while loading shared libraries: libnntpgrab_utils.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

After a "sudo ldconfig" that was solved. So ...NNTPgrab is running on Raspi! Cool!

Thank you for your help.

Update: on another Raspi (with Debian Wheezy beta), these packages were needed to successfully run ./configure

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libsoup2.4-dev intltool libsoup-gnome2.4-dev par2
