I'm trying to build hdup on my new system, which is running the 64-bit
version of Fedora Core 3.

The good news: 1.6.37 compiles perfectly on this system, and some quick
tests worked.  I did not really give it a thorough workout though since
I wanted to try 2.0.0.

During configure of 2.0.0 I get the following warning, which isn't
exactly as clear as a cloudless day, but from looking at the configure
script looks like a - got substututed for a _ somewhere:

checking for main in -lglib-2... no
./configure: line 3690: ac_cv_lib_glib-2=ac_cv_lib_glib-2_main: command
not found

For the compile, after figuring out that I needed the glib2-devel
package, it went smoothly.

The RPM spec file needed a little revision before it would work; I'm not
sure how permanent the changes are so I won't send a patch right now,
but some of the documentation files from the 1.6 version are gone and
some new ones have showed up.  Also the RPM needs to be updated to
reflect the new naming of the directory "hdup2".
