[Fedora-xen] Tryimg to build virt-manager from mercurial: getting error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT - why ?

[Mark Ryden]

Hello,
Thanks;
After uninstalling intltool and "yum install intltool" everything went
ok on FC6.
I have a machine with FC7 on which I tried the same and ./autogen.sh fails,
giving the following message (required file `./config.rpath' not found).
(see below full log).

On this machine I have:
gettext-0.16.1-8.fc7
gettext-devel-0.16.1-8.fc7
pygtk2-devel-2.10.4-2.fc7
gtk2-devel-2.10.11-7.fc7
intltool-0.35.5-3.fc7

Does anybody know: what is this "config.rpath" error  ?  I googled for
it but could not find a satisfiable error. I want to add that
on the FC6 , a config.rpath file is not generated.
Did anybody have success with building on FC7 machines after downloading from
repositories ?

Here is the full output on the FC7 machine:
