bug#4126: 23.1.50; Building with dbus support

[Giles Chamberlin]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Building latest emacs from CVS on Ubuntu 9.04, it appears that configure
is unable to locate the dbus libraries.  config.log reports

Running on Ubuntu 9.04, I'm having trouble building emacs from CVS with
dbus support.  config.log reports: 

configure:12289: checking for dbus-1 >= 1.0
configure:12309: result: no

and subsequent calls to make fail to compile dbusbind.c, causing
invocation of dbus-call-method to fail with a void-function error.

dbus-1 installed as per default ubuntu setup.




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
