Have you installed nettle-3.4.1 ?  That version is now the minimum
required - both of them turned out to be affected by the
side-channel vulnerability, see

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-12/msg00001.html

I have just installed gnutls-3.6.5 on my most recent system, after
upgrading nettle.

I just reinstalled Nettle 3.4.1 following the book. All 3 tests pass.
Tried again. Still same configure error. If I am the only one
experiencing this issue, I'll refrain from posting further.

I initially tried building gnutle in /tmp, and the initial NETTLE
test failed.  Then I built nettle and installed that to /tmp/NETTLE
: the initial test for NETTLE passed, but a later test to check for
nettle_sec_rsa_decrypt failed because configure was linking to
libnettle.so and getting the old system version.

So in my case I did a straight upgrade.

If yours is still failing in the initial NETTLE test, look at
config.log and also look at /usr/lib/pkgconfig/nettle.pc to confirm
that the version is indeed 3.4.1.

Alternatively, if it fails on the later test, check that
/usr/lib/nibnettle.so is a symplink to libnettle.so.6.5 (instead of
to 6.4).

Bingo:

libnettle: /usr/lib/libnettle.so /usr/lib64/libnettle.so
roger [ /var/lib/sources/gnutls/gnutls-3.6.5 ]$ ls -l /usr/lib/libnettle.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 26 18:45 /usr/lib/libnettle.so -> libnettle.so.6.4
roger [ /var/lib/sources/gnutls/gnutls-3.6.5 ]$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libnettle.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 15 15:02 /usr/lib64/libnettle.so ->
libnettle.so.6.5

The install only updated one of the links and apparently didn't update
the pkgconfig files.

It looks like Nettle 3.4.1 is only installed in /usr/lib64/. Also, the
book tries to chmod in /usr/lib/ and complains because the files don't
exist (I blew away my old installation). Also, even after running
ldconfig, the gnutls configure script is looking for it in /usr/lib/.
So, the files need to be copied to /usr/lib (after running chmod).

You did not do that?
