Summary0001922: Installation fails on Ubuntu 11.04/11.10
Description<shez01> hi
<shez01> i have a problem with oneric 11.1 i dont have libgcrypt.la but libgcrypt.a
<shez01> i have make a simlink for libgcrytp.la but when install gnunet i have this problem : libtool: link: `/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.la' is not a valid libtool archive
<shez01> you can help me?
<LRN> .la and .a are different things
<shez01> yes
<LRN> i'd try to find why something requires libgcrypt.la in the first place, if i were in your shoes
<LRN> Because, in my experience, saying -lgcrypt will link you gcrypt, if you have libgcrypt-blah.so or libgcrypt.a . The only case when you need .la file is when there's some other .la file that explicitly refers to it (that is, it has BLAH = " -lfoo -lbar libgcrypt.la" inside)
<LRN> also, ask harrykar when he gets back - he builds gnunet on Ubuntu
Steps To ReproduceI had this issue on a fresh installed ubuntu, a hiwi had it and now on IRC

On my case:

Fresh installed 11.04
Installed dependencies with apt-get
+ Extractor
+ libmicrohttpd
from svn
TagsNo tags attached.
