I don't really know if the problem is then the configure.ac from NetworkManager, or the pygobject recipe in the poky layer...

I was able to build NetworkManager by adding:

EXTRA_OECONF_append = " --disable-introspection"

I think introspection is only used to generate the documentation, which I don't care about.

Anyways it would be neat if the recipe would just work as it was. If I get some time I will try to understand which is the problem and maybe notify the NetworkManager mailing list if they should fix its configure.ac

Thanks!
