Unable to Install GTK+ 2.14 on RHEL 5.2


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Following is the description of issue:

Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5.2 crashes.

Perform the following steps:

Step 1) Run following command: “vi /etc/profile“: this would open the
profile file for editing now set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
“/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig”.

Step 2) Open terminal, in User LogIn & execute the following set of commands:
a) ./configure
b) make
c) su <password>
d) make install
e) /sbin/ldconfig
f) exit

for the following packages:
(i) Atk 1.24
(ii) Pixman 1.12
(iii) Cairo 1.8.6
(iv) Pango 1.20
(v) GTK 2.14

As soon as we run the above set of commands for every package, Red Hat
Linux Enterprise 5.2 crashes.


Ee also searched for event log file on RHEL on the following path:
“/var/log/messages”, however the log file is empty.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to Linux Questions.

Why would you want GTK+ 2.14 ??

Making the new libs visible in /usr/local/lib
might crash the 200 applications depending on
gtk2-2.10.4, atk, cairo, pango : Gnome, etc.

The application AbiWord requires that version of GTK. do you have a suggestion on how I can use this GTK 2.14 without crashing RHEL?

Why not use Abiword 2.6.4 for RH EL5

And if you really want version 2.6.6 , it is rather
easy to build Abiword. ( Compared to what you are
trying to do ).

Abiword needs gtk+ , from version 2.6, to build,
so the gtk+ 2.10 you have, should be fine.
....

The Abiword version, you describe, depending on
gtk+ 2.14, would that be a Fedora 10 package ?? If so :
It is by no means possible to make it work on RH EL 5.
