There is no failure during configuration phase if rpc is not present. This issue will manifest itself on any GNU/Linux distro as soon as glibc gets upgraded to more recent version. Thus it needs to be fixed before upcoming release (unless we want to make fast 7.4.1 with a fix inside). Note – some distributions provide workarounds (i.e. on Gentoo rpc got removed only in 2.26). Affected files: {{{ grep -nHIirF --exclude-dir=.svn -- ' lib/raster/open.c:16:#include lib/raster/get_row.c:18:#include /* need this for sgi */ lib/raster/range.c:15:#include /* need this for sgi */ }}} Things to do: * configuration must check for rpc presence and fail if rpc is missing; * dependency on rpc should be removed or an alternative should be examined (is current state of libtirpc good enough?)
