I added the following patch (Franks already committed Michael's patch in
rev e9737) to mention the various devel libraries needed on
fedora/debian/opensuse - lovely, they all use different names...
2008-08-16 Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
* configure.ac (build_elfutils): Mention possible distro
specific elfutils development sub-packages needed when not found.
BTW. Michael, the elfutil sub-packages from opensuse all list
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils as homepage, but newer
elfutils packages now have their own public project at:
http://elfutils.fedorahosted.org/ (and the latest version is 0.135).
Cheers,
Mark
