That's because the check I implemented requires libtirpc 0.2.4. I choose to require that version because it was the one I tested against. But if older versions are allowed, or even any other, it is simple to change the required version string: -PKG_CHECK_MODULES([TIRPC], [libtirpc >= 0.2.4], +PKG_CHECK_MODULES([TIRPC], [libtirpc >= 0.2.1], Or for accepting any version: -PKG_CHECK_MODULES([TIRPC], [libtirpc >= 0.2.4], +PKG_CHECK_MODULES([TIRPC], [libtirpc], > > If at all possible, I would like to keep pkg-config as the default, and > > use the old (or another) method only as a fallback, because pkg-config > > is so much nicer to deal with than trying to cope for all cases > > ourselves.

Yes, I checked the old code, and it does not require any version for libtirpc, just that it exists. The old code also checks for authgss_free_private_data, that was introduced in libtirpc between 0.2.2 and 0.2.3, and the change I proposed did not handle that. It completely slipped by. So, to propose a fix, I need to know what the oldest libtirpc version should be supported. From the mesage pointed to above, it seems we should support at least back to libtirpc 0.2.1. Do we have to support yet older versions, or even any version? Second, I'll also work on providing a way to restore detection and use of authgss_free_private_data. Note: I'll hopefuly have time to work on this tonight, and send a fix before midnight UTC. Sorry for the mishap... :-( Regards, Yann E.
