symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/ModemManager: undefined symbol: mm_location_3gpp_set_mobile_country_code after build

[roee klinger]

Hello,

After some further testing, it seems that this is caused by installing NetworkManager via apt.

I run these commands to build and install:
> wget https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/ModemManager-1.16.6.tar.xz
> tar -Jxvf ModemManager-1.16.6.tar.xz
> cd ModemManager-1.16.6
> apt-get install -y build-essential pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libgudev-1.0-dev libmbim-glib-dev libqmi-glib-dev
> ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --with-qmi --with-mbim --with-suspend-resume=systemd
> make
> make install
After that I run this to install NetworkManager without ModemManager:
> ➜ ~ apt install network-manager modemmanager-
> Reading package lists... Done

It seems that after that, ModemManager breaks, because the NetworkManager install is doing something to break it.

I am not sure on how to move forward, should I build NetworkManager from scratch too? or should I add some other flag to ModemManager?

Thanks,
Roee
