Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-11-14 00:57:04 UTC 
looks like you don't have the package mozilla-nspr-devel installed. do you have
the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/mozilla-nspr.pc?

if it's installed, probably the path returned by "pkg-config --cflags
mozilla-nspr" isn't the correct path, so either use the
'--with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/mozilla/nspr' flag.

setting to NEEDINFO, please REOPEN if this all does not help.
Comment 2 nyvsld 2005-11-14 08:01:16 UTC 
i have no such file, but where does mozilla-nspr-dev come from ? 
theres no file named *.pc in nspr src directory, nor on the web can i find
non-vendor specific package.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-11-14 14:56:54 UTC 
then please repair your mozilla install, it's just busted.

<http://go-evolution.org/Compiling_Evolution_from_CVS> says for e-d-s and
debian: "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/pkgconfig/ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/evo/
--with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/mozilla/nspr/"

which parameters/flags did you use when configuring?
which distro is this?
Comment 4 nyvsld 2005-11-26 10:19:44 UTC 
its debian testing.
no special options was used while configure, just
 ./configure

i'll rebuild mozilla soon. 
thanks for your suggestion.

Quoting original report:
> #define HAVE_NSS 1
> Check for nspr.h: no

Those are destinct. Evo depends on nss3 and nspr4 libs, both from Mozilla or Firefox. The above is not a bug.

To build Evo and e-d-s, you either need to install the relevant devel libs as provided by your distro or build Mozilla / Firefox yourself. If need be, provide the actaul paths to configure. See 'configure --help' for details.

Closing RESOLVED NOTABUG.
