The configure script uses pkg-config to detect libnl. Therefore, pkg-config must be able to find the libnl-1.pc file. On my system it's /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libnl-1.pc and pkg-config finds it by default. You can use pkg-config --modversion libnl-1 to check the version. If pkg-config can't find the file it'll complain and suggest that you set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point to the directory containing the libnl-1.pc file, like this PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/directory pkg-config --modversion libnl-1 You can then run configure the same way PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/directory ./configure Matthias -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
