Description Pacho Ramos 2011-06-05 13:16:15 UTC 
This is a regression over 4.2.7, as reported downstream on:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370013

During compilation of libgda-4.2.8, build system tries to write on /etc/libgda-4.0/config when configure is run with --enable-gtk-doc option.

Thanks a lot for your help

http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgda/commit/doc/C?id=45b1ad1345d9f2f1475ad263c1305c15b19e01c7

referencing gda-config."
