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.

-------------------------------------------------

Well, there isn't a good way to do that. VERSION, for libnova, is defined in a 
source file. At any rate, I tried to write a test script to see if it would 
compile the following, but it always fails. I'll try this again tomorrow, 
it's 1:05 AM now, and I was up since 4 AM yesterday!!

 set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES ${NOVA_INCLUDE_DIR})
 set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES ${NOVA_LIBRARIES})

 check_cxx_source_compiles("#include <libnova.h> 
 int main() { ln_get_date_from_tm(NULL, NULL); return 0; }" 
NOVA_FUNCTION_COMPILE)
