Problem: Cannot connect to Acpid

[Fabian Zeindl]

Hi

 I've Gentoo, Hal 0.5.5.1 installed and don't get acpi events. in
verbose mode hal keeps telling me:

addon-acpi.c:78: Cannot connect to acpid socket: No such
file or directory

that's true, I don't have an acpid. v. 0.5.4 also worked without acpid,
so is there a possibility to compile hal without acpid "support"?
Gentoo compiles hal with the following options:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-os-type=gentoo
--with-pid-file=/var/run/hald.pid --disable-verbose-mode
--disable-pcmcia-support --enable-acpi-proc --disable-docbook-docs
--disable-doxygen-docs --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

is there anything wrong about it?

greetings
fabian
