I tried today to install libgcrypt-1.1.44 in /usr/local on
my debian machine, but when I build software that requires
it, it complains. I tried to force that software to find
the /usr/local installed newer version using:
./configure --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/usr/local
(the autoconf fragment uses AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT(1.1.42...))
Using strace, I discovered that it calls:
/usr/local/bin/libgcrypt-config --prefix=/usr/local --version
which barfs with a usage statement, while my
/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config seems content to gobble --prefix
and print the version number.
diff found no differences between my system's libgcrypt.m4 and
the libgcrypt.m4 in libgnutls-1.1.44.
I expect the problem is line 23 of libgcrypt.m4:
libgcrypt_config_args="$libgcrypt_config_args --prefix=$libgcrypt_config_prefix"
Or, alternately, that a --prefix=*) case should be added to
libgcrypt-config, though I don't know what it would do.
