Merge lp:~federico-gnome/zeitgeist/fixes into lp:zeitgeist/0.1

[Federico Mena Quintero]

Removes the check for 'rdfpipe' from configure.ac. That program is not actually needed, and comes from an obscure package (rdfextras from Google Code).

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen (kamstrup)]

I believe that it's a shorthand check for the python-rdflib package.
In Ubuntu, at least, that package ships this tool. We python-rdflib
for parsing the ontologies at build time

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

we need python-rdflib
this patch just takes it out so we have no way of telling on configure that
python-rdflib is missing so we need a better solution. This patch doesn't
fix the problem. :(

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen (kamstrup)]

Maybe we can replace the check for rdfpipe with something ala:

python -c "import rdflib"
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
  echo "You need the Python module 'rdflib' in order to compile Zeitgeist"
  exit 1
fi

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

sounds good to me +1
Mikkel you can change that in trunk directly then :)

Don't check for rdfpipe(1); check for the python-rdflib module instead

rdfpipe(1) only comes with python-rdflib prior to 3.0.0. That command got moved
to a separate rdfextras package.

We now actually test whether python can import the rdflib module.
