Problem building notmuch

[Steen Manniche <steen@manniche.net>]

Hi list,

I've been trying to install notmuch but I ran into problems related to
talloc and, seemingly with notmuch's understanding of the talloc.h
file.

./configure affirms that all needed headers are installed:

[...]
Checking for Xapian development files... Yes.
Checking for GMime 2.4 development files... Yes.
Checking for talloc development files... Yes.
Checking for valgrind development files... No.
[...]

but then make complains:

I have the talloc.h in /usr/include and talloc_free as well as
_talloc_free is in there:

% egrep "*talloc_free" /usr/include/talloc.h
#define talloc_free(ctx) _talloc_free(ctx, __location__)
#define talloc_destroy(ctx) talloc_free(ctx)
#define TALLOC_FREE(ctx) do { talloc_free(ctx); ctx=NULL; } while(0)
int _talloc_free(void *ptr, const char *location);
void talloc_free_children(void *ptr);
%

Probably unusable system info:
% uname -a
Linux algorithm 2.6.31-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 23 11:12:58 CEST
2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P9500 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel
GNU/Linux

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards and thanks for the effort with notmuch!
