[Opendnssec-user] Questions about compiling 1.4.8.2

[Jake Zack]

1)  There is a directory /usr/include/ldns

2) ldns.h and util.h are present in /usr/include/ldns

3)  util.h properly reports version 1.6.17

[root at qa-ftld-03 ldns]# grep -i ldns_version util.h
#define LDNS_VERSION "1.6.17"

4) 'locate ldns.h' only reports the one in /usr/include/ldns

[root at qa-ftld-03 ldns]# locate ldns.h
/usr/include/ldns/ldns.h

Hmm, that was not right of me, should not be --with-ldns=/usr/lib64.

Just some entries now to try to track things down:
- There is a directory "/usr/include/ldns" right?
- Within it I'd expect a file "ldns.h" and "util.h", they are there?
- Within the file util.h. there should be a "#define LDNS_VERSION",
which version is stated there?
- does locate ldns.h only result in /usr/include/ldns/ldns.h ?

You can send me the file "config.log" produced by the configure script,
it should contain more information.

Unfortunately I do not have access to the RHEL repository.
