[Libguestfs] Compilation troubles

Hi,

I'm trying to compile hivex library that I just discovered. I'd use
binaries
but I only have an i386 ubuntu and debian so I tryied to compile.

./configure finished with incouraging::

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Thank you for downloading hivex 1.3.3

    This is how we have configured the optional components for you today:

    OCaml bindings ...................... no
    Perl bindings ....................... yes
    Python bindings ..................... yes
    Ruby bindings ....................... no

    If any optional component is configured 'no' when you expected
'yes'
    then you should check the preceeding messages.

    Please report bugs back to the mailing list:
    http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs

    Next you should type 'make' to build the package,
    then 'make check' to run the tests.
    ------------------------------------------------------------


but then compilation end badly::

    Making all in xml
    make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/hivex-1.3.3/xml'
      CCLD   hivexml
    hivexml-hivexml.o: In function `main':
    /tmp/hivex-1.3.3/xml/hivexml.c:96: undefined reference to `rpl_getopt'
    /tmp/hivex-1.3.3/xml/hivexml.c:110: undefined reference to `rpl_optind'
    /tmp/hivex-1.3.3/xml/hivexml.c:154: undefined reference to `rpl_optind'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make[2]: *** [hivexml] Error 1
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/hivex-1.3.3/xml'
    make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/hivex-1.3.3'
    make: *** [all] Errore 2


And I'm not enought skilled to understand it. The error is on ubuntu 10.04.
A complete log can be viewd at http://pastebin.com/0s9UnxPh

thanks for any possible hints

PS: I dont have libguestfs as I just need to batch modify (preferably via
    Python) some profile NTUSER.DAT. My understanding is that hivex does not
    depend on libguestfs.

I don't understand why you see the error, but it comes from gnulib.
Is gnulib/lib/libgnu.a getting built and does it contain the
rpl_getopt symbol?  You shouldn't need that symbol though, because
getopt should be defined in glibc.  Maybe you don't have the libc6-dev
package installed?

hivex doesn't depend on libguestfs.

If you're compiling from git, did you run ./autogen.sh?  Did it
run successfully?

Yes, if you build from tarballs.

Yes, there is some problem with Ubuntu 10.04; I can reproduce it here,
but it probably just requires updating gnulib.  I'll try to see if
that helps ...
