I'm trying to configure powertop-2.5 but when I run ./configure I get a "configure: error: libnl and libnl-genl are required but were not found" error
I've run
sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf libnl-dev ncurses-dev pciutils-dev build-essential -y
as was recommended by these guys but I get the same error.
I ran
sudo apt-get install libnl-genl-3-dev
Which replaced the previous libnl file but I still get the config error.
According to this, powertop has (or had) problems with detecting libnl but I can't figure out how to fix it.
I'm currently running Linux username 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 i686 GNU/Linux
I "solved" my problem by installing powertop-2.0 instead.
