Hello, you didn't mention where are you trying to get NM working. I assume it's KDE, since you mention network management backends. You might want to install this package: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/networkmanagement/0.9.0.6/src/ Just use "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE_PREFIX" and you should be good. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
