The problem seems to be that the ln_get_date_from_tm function was added to a 
later version of libnova.  We had thought that it was added to 0.12.  In any 
case, we need to add a check for the version of this library to the cmake 
script.  Is there an easy way to do that?  From what I've seen in other 
scripts, we should just write a small test program that uses the function in 
question...

Jasem is working on resolving this.

Jason
