I downloaded PowerTop ver. 2.0 and attempted to build it with:
   ./autogen.sh
then
   ./configure
The configure script is not finding "LIBNL" and nl_socket_alloc.

My Fedora 17 installation seems to have libnl and the looked-for symbol:
   $ rpm -qa | grep libnl
   libnl3-3.2.7-1.fc17.x86_64
   libnl-1.1-15.fc17.x86_64
And, nl_socket_alloc is defined in (at least) the 64-bit library /usr/lib64/libnl-3.so.200:
   $ nm --dynamic /usr/lib64/libnl-3.so.200 | grep nl_socket_alloc
   00000039c360f740 T nl_socket_alloc
   00000039c360f6d0 T nl_socket_alloc_cb

Is this something that the Fedora 17 distribution has changed in the libnl naming string -- again?
