Subject: 25.0.50; dbus-error "Emacs not compiled with dbus support"
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 08:56:03 +0100

This error happens whenever I start Emacs, which I've compiled myself on an
Ubuntu machine with no special options. I understand why the error
happens (erc is trying to use some dbus stuff) I just don't understand
why my emacs doesn't have dbus support.

Looking through the INSTALL file shows that `configure' has an option for
disabling dbus support (which I didn't specify), but I don't see an
option for requesting it.

i imagine you've already checked this, but are the relevant 
libdbus*-dev libraries installed on your system? My experience is 
that if they are, the configure script will enable dbus support 
automatically ....

The answer to such questions is usually in your config.log.  Look
there for the dbus-related tests and their results.
