Flickr F-spot bug
Monday, May 9, 2005
I was all eager to play with my new flickr pro account, so I fired up F-spot, and ready to upload the next pic. Thats when it wouldn’t log me in to Flickr.
I hear the error is due to the recent upping of limits at Flickr, and that it has been fixed. So I check out the CVS code, and run autogen.sh. What do you know, the script dies, telling me that liblcms is not installed on my system. Well, it is, only it’s called liblcms1 by Ubuntu (why oh why?)
Note, selecting liblcms1 instead of liblcms
liblcms1 is already the newest version.
So does anyone know how I can still install F-spot from source, and how I can force a gnome app’s autogen.sh script from looking for a particular lib, or any other workarounds?

can’t you pass -I option like in ./configure? i.e. giving specific path to library files.
If you file the actual error message as a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org I’ll be happy to help you out. I’ll also be making a new f-spot release very with the fix for the flickr issue.
Dear Carthik
Install the libcms1-dev apt package as well.
sudo apt-get install libcms1-dev

Alan, thank you
It was a d’oh moment alright - I downloaded the liblcms source, and was in the process of installing it when I thought, “oh wait, I don’t have the -dev package installed!”
But even after that, with the latest CVS code, I run into three errors during the compilation (make).
lewing,
I’m honored!!! Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I will indeed report my findings at the bug tracker. Thanks again!
Ashwin,
It was dumbness on my part. Please see above comment
Update, I filed a bug report with the information I had.
Thanks, everyone.
