Yes, the problems only occurred with cmake.

How does SLES work? Is upgrading to the latest SP seamless? How about
newer releases such as SLES12?  SLES11 SP2 provides gcrypt 1.5.0 which
is sufficiently new, but SP1 is not compatible anymore (1.4.1 < 1.4.3).

Looks like glib won't be upgraded any time soon. Do you need SSL
