configure says "No package 'dbus-1' found.", but there is.

While compiling, when I do:

Code: Select all

./configure

it says:

Code: Select all

configure: error: No package 'dbus-1' found.

but when I run:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep -i dbus-1

it lists dbus-1.6.8-2.fc18.i686, so I don't know where the problem is.

I am using Fedora 18.

Oh!! I found the solution. In order to compile something, *-devel package is needed on Fedora. So in my case that was dbus-devel.

But the ./configure exit message was confusing.

You need a lot of -devel packages for VLC to compile. See our wiki.
