Comment 42 for bug 66254

Hello!

I tried to apply the suggested changes to the source code of hal, but even before this I didn't manage to compile hal. It always ends up with an error message like this:

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib/libpci.a(names.o): In function `pci_load_name_list':
(.text+0x538): undefined reference to `gzopen'

I have installed the package zlib1g-dev.

So I will attach the changes I have applied to the file hald/linux/probing/linux_dvd_rw_utils.c in the function get_disc_type. Perhaps anyone else will succeed in applying these changes and compiling hal.
