109901 - Configure script sends me on a wild goose chase over libIDL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Loren Cannon]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-4GB i586; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010515
BuildID:    not built

libidl has been merged with Orbit.
The site it refers me to is defunct.  All I needed was orbit-devel (suse/redhat)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the configure script without orbit development 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Useless Information -- Where to get it once upon a time

Expected Results:  Useful Information -- where to get it
