I've cc'd the blfs-dev group as I'm quite certain that this is a bug. Looking at the configure script, it clearly searches for fuse rather than fuse3, e.g. $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "fuse" I can also see that /usr/libexec/gvfsd-fuse was not installed. After installing fuse-2.9.7, gvfs then successfully built and installed /usr/libexec/gvfsd-fuse. Which leads me to my second question, what is fuse used for? Can someone give me a real world example of when gvfsd-fuse would be used? I can no longer remember why I've included fuse as part of my build. Looking back at my build history, I first added fuse back in 2012, when I added Rhythmbox, which I no longer use. I'm thinking of dropping fuse from my build all together.
