Hi;

I've just replaced RH9 with Fedora Core2. I want to replace yelp-2.6.0 with yelp-2.6.3 and so have downloaded yelp-2.6.3-1.src.rpm. I've steamrolled this ... src.rpm to a /yelp-source directory and then extracted the yelp-2.6.3.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/yelp-2.6.3.

When I cd to this directory and ./configure I get the following error:
'configure: error: cannot find sources (src/yelp-main.c) in . or ..'

I believe my 'configure' should work and isn't the point of downloading an rpm is to make sure that all the dependencies are taken care of? What am I doing wrong? Do I have a misunderstanding of how to install ...src.rpms? Is there a problem with Core2 and Yelp-2.6.3?

Any help would be appreciated.

Try installing the programs with yum or apt

Thanks Verzonen;

But my problem isn't with downloading - but appears to be with './configure' from source.

I keep getting the 'configure: error: cannot find sources (src/yelp-main.c) in . or ..' yet the file is right there.

The only possible clue is the following: when I rpm -ivv yelp-2.6.3-1.src.rpm I get amongst the file list - "warning: yelp-2.6.3-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8'.

What does that mean and if its a problem what do I do about it?

Since my last post;

I have 're-rpm'ed my source file letting it install itself whereever it wants and unb2zipped it where it wants.

The configuration files for yelp are now in '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/yelp-2.6.3

When I ./configure it grinds away then gives me the following error message:

"configure: error: Library requirements (
gconf-2.0

gtk+-2.0 >= 2.3.1

libxslt >= 1.1.4
libexslt >= 0.8.1
) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them."

These files all exist in either /usr/lib or /usr/share. One or two are like /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gconf-2.0.pc. I have Fedora Core 2 recently downloaded and completely updated with gnome 2.5 and gdm 2.6 so everything should be where it is supposed to be.

So, what does ./configure want from me? What and where is the PKG_CONFIG_PATH?


Errrr ugh!
