I am attempting to install a Jabber (IM server) into one of my servers.

I'm at the point where I do the ./configure

Result:
checking for GnuTLS... checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GNUTLS... no
No package 'gnutls' found
configure: error: Couldn't find required GnuTLS installation

I have used yum to install the following packages:

gnutls-utils.i386
xmlsec1-gnutls.i386

When I run the ./configure again I still get the above error, is there something further I have to do after using yum to install the packages so the configure will find it in the /usr/bin/pkg-config file?

Found out why the /usr/bin/pkg-config can't find the gnutils packages installed; needed to install the gnutls developer packages - they use the pkg-config.

Can't seem to find libpth-devel package using yum - any help on this?

When you do a ./configure it creates a config.cache(i believe thats what it was named). Then the next time you do it, even though you fixed the problem, it uses the config.cache.

Just remove the source directory, and re-extract it from the tarball...
