motion doesn't work with FC3 now

[LinuxHippy]

In FC2, I had to compile motion from it's source file found at THIS

Motion worked fine with kernel 2.6.8 in FC2. Then I upgraded to FC3 and found that motion would not run and complained that it couldn't find some file. So, I did a ./configure again as the motion website instructed and that went fine. Then I did a make clean as the site indicated. When I issued make, it stopped with the following error:

Anyone know what's wrong or if there's a similar webcam surveilance program for FC3?

Make sure you have the libidn-devel package installed, for starters.

[LinuxHippy]

where do I get that file-the FC3 install cds?

[crackers]

I'm guessing so, yes, since I have it installed. It would probably be easier to use yum or apt-get to install it instead of searching for it on the CDs.

[LinuxHippy]

found it on yum and then I was able to build motion-thanx!
