Hi,
I have a mandrake 9.1 (kernel 2.4.21-013, kde 3.1.0) with gnupg (v 1.2.2)
installed.
I've downloaded the tarball of kgpg (v 1.0.0) and tried (as root) to
install.
After suceeding with ./configure, make stopped complaining
"cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libfam.la'".
Is there a way around? (what's that library anyway,where can I get it. and
where shall I put it?)
TIA

My suggestion would be to "urpmi fam-devel" (or which ever is
appropriate, I don't have an MDK box handy anymore, just Gentoo machines).
That sounds like that's what the problem is.

P.S.
WIth MDK, you should do a "--prefix=/usr" when compiling something.

Sorry...

urpmi libfam-devel

That should be the right name...
