I'm trying to compile Pan (the newsreader) on a new install of Slackware-
current. But the configure script is saying that it can't detect gnutls.
I have gnutls-cli, gnutls-cli-debug and gnutls-serv binaries. All are
version 2.12.7 which is, I believe, the latest for Slackware.

Does anyone know what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Ed

You didn't look at the config.log file.

It says:
checking for GNUTLS
Requested 'gnutls >= 2.12.10' but version of GnuTLS is 2.12.7
You may find new versions of GnuTLS at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/

Yep, you're right. Didn't know about that file. So I've installed GnuTLS
v2.12.19 and I'm having trouble getting it to report the correct number.

In /usr/local/bin I enter './gnutls-cli -v' and I get
./gnutls-cli (GnuTLS 2.12.19) 2.12.7

Which looks pretty odd to me. :(

It looks like it checks the library version and reports both the
gnutls-cli version and the library version if they are different.
(It finds the old library from /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 because the
dynamic linker looks there before /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/lib64.)
