Summary:                    Unable to compile on RHEL 5,1 (64-bit)
Description: 
I am completely stuck at the configure phase. Here´s the error:

 checking for libgnutls-config... /usr/local/bin/libgnutls-config
 checking for libgnutls - version >= 2.2.1... no

Since RHEL 5.1 only comes with GnuTLS 1.4.1 I have uninstalled the
gnutls-devel package and built GnuTLS from the source. I have tried with
version 2.1.1, 2.2.2 and 2.3.4 but neither one works. If I run this
command...:

 /usr/local/bin/libgnutls-config --version

...then it says it´s version 2.2.2 (or 2.1.1 or 2.3.4 if I try with
that).

I have tried with both mod_gnutls 0.4.3 and 0.5.1 but I get the same
error. I have even tried brute forcing the configure script by setting the
versioning variable manually but it doesn´t help. I uncommented line 20302
and put after that:

 libgnutls_extra_config_version=6.6.6

...but it still says "no". Why can´t I get it to compile?

I finally get it!! I´ve been on the wrong track for hours but I finally
get it. I didn´t understand that "run-time linker" error so I kind of
just ignored it but now I suddenly figured out what it means.

I couldn´t remove the gnutls package since it had 159 dependencies so all
this time I unknowingly had an old version of libgnutls.so in /usr/lib and
the new version in /usr/local/lib/ and that´s what the configure script
complained about. I added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran
"ldconfig" and now I can finally compile mod_gnutls!! Sorry about my
n00biness. I hope those 159 dependencies won´t have a conflict with this
new gnutls.so library though.

You can go ahead and close this bug.

More feedback is required. Did you check config.log for the failure reason?
Did you run ldconfig after installing gnutls?
