GTK Installation on FC5 not working !
 

Hi Guys,

I am trying to make a desktop application on GTK,C.
I tried to yum install gtk* on my system.
I think there was gtk already installed on my system since i have xmms running.

when i tried running the first program from the gtk.org tutorial, it ran fine. but when i did the hello world program, it gave me compile errors. This led me to compile
as 'gcc -v ...... gtk+' . this way i saw that the compilation is picking files from gtk1.2 and NOT gtk 2.0 that was supposedly installed by yum.

so I did a yum remove gtk* (and ran into trouble with my system so updated kde and gnome packages :P)
then i again did a yum install gtk* but it still gives me compile errors. a google told me that it needs gtk2.0 to work! and i think I installed it!

what to do? :((

I think gtk and gtk2 are installed on your system. Maybe you need to install gtk2-devel in order for your programs to work. Can you post the output of

this is the list i got...
waiting ... :)

Well gtk2-devel is installed fine so if your program does indeed use gtk2 and not gtk, I don't see why its not being picked up. Are you using examples from the gtk2 tutorial or the gtk 1.x tutorial?

what i get compiling the file with :

gcc -v test1.c -o test1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+`

is this :

when i specify the package as 2.0, with :

gcc -v test1.c -o test1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`


i get :


Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

and whats the deal with package config file?
whats it used for ?
i have tried putting the package name (not gtkdevel but the gtk2.0 etc) but it didnt quite make a difference...

it so happened that the latest version available for download has rpms that are fc6 dependent! and I have FC5! and i came to know that only when i was asked for a version of i think atk that was an fc6 version :P

i think they should mention it there on the site that this downloadable version is for fc6..

My GTK is running fine now though :) thanks for all the trouble :)
