Hello,

When I want to exectute
make xconfig I get following error :

Code:

[me@fc8 linux-2.6.26.i686]$ make xconfig
CHECK qt
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin/moc -i scripts/kconfig/qconf.h -o scripts/kconfig/qconf.moc
HOSTCXX scripts/kconfig/qconf.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
[me@fc8 linux-2.6.26.i686]$ pwd
/home/me/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.26/linux-2.6.26.i686

Has anyone an idea what this mean and how to solve it?

regards,

chipotphe

You need the build-essential tools.
Here's the ones I use for debian:
sudo apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev wget libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

I work with Fedora 8 :

I have done :

yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

but still the same result.

btw : make menuconfig do not give an error.

regards,

Look what I have found : http://www.geektimes.com/linux/troub...find-lX11.html

Quote:

. . . It turns out that the /usr/X11R6/lib directory isn't part of the default ld(1) search path, so I needed to have the flag "-L/usr/X11R6/lib" somewhere before "-lX11" in the offending command.

How can this be done ? ?

During my search to find a solution, I tried

[me@fc8 linux-2.6.26.i686]$ make gconfig
*
* Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
* the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed...
* You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0.
*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_gtkcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/gconf.o'. Stop.
make: *** [gconfig] Error 2

So I decided to install gtk+-devel

su -c "yum install gtk+-devel"

afterwarts I tried make gconfig : still same problem
And I gave make xconfig also a try : AND ? ? ? it was working ! ! !

OK.

But now I want to know why make gconfig do not work.

sorry,

I want to know what I am doing.

In the meantime I am installing libglade-devel. You never know . . .

I keep you informed .

Knowledge is power . . .

I can not install GTK+2.0 development.

yum install gtk+2-dev gives no result.
I tried also : gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0

But still same result : NOTHING

Does someone know how to install GTK+2 on Fedora8 ?

As far as I see these are already installed :

Anyone an idea ? ?

Maybe your path to "qt" is not there. I don't have Fedora, so I can be of little help.
