[pacman-dev] Fwd: Re: Unable to compile pacman in ubuntu-11.10

Mon Apr 2 07:52:31 EDT 2012

This new configure scripts reports that it needs  libarchive > 3.0.0 . 

I am using libarchive1-2.8.4-1ubuntu-0.11.10.1 which is present in the repo.

I am using the same build environment(same machine) which i have used earlier.

Below is the ouput.

Output of repo git://code.falconindy.com/pacman.git buildsys branch
