GAIM and GTK Problem - Please Help
Hi,
Im trying to install Gaim-0.77 on a SuSE 9.0 Fresh Install. When i run ./configure from the Gaim Folder i get the following error: *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.3, but GLIB (2.4.0) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: *** GLib 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GLib *** development headers installed. The latest version of GLib is *** always available at http://www.gtk.org/. I downloaded the following files: atk-1.6.0 gtk+-2.4.0 pango-1.4.0 glib-2.4.0 gtkspell-2.0.5 pkgconfig-0.15.0 I installed pkgconfig with no problems. ATK - Returns the same problem as Gaim. Glib - Installs fine. GTK - Returns the following: lib-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GLib is 2.2.3 configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. gtk-spell - Returns the following: checking for gtk+-2.0... 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 No package 'gtk+-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. Pango - Returns the following: *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** Glib 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of *** Glib is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. linux:~/gtkshit/pango-1.4.0 # you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc' > to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable > No package 'fontconfig' found > configure: WARNING: No fontconfig found, skipping tests for FreeType and Xft > checking for pkg-config...

Thanks in advance |
ok, this looks like it might be the same stupid error i had when using gtk
gtk/glib are very picky, if you install more then 1 then it will be messed up and unusable, thats why configure keeps going all weird -- it usually happens if you install the packages over a previous one. so the answer is to uninstall gtk/pango/atk/glib (just to be safe), and you also have to remove them by hand the files needed to be removed are in the /bin and /lib directories, once you removed every one of those packages by hand then you can install them again and it should work (note: using make install wont work, you have to delete the libs one by one) |
Thanks alot for your reply - I really appreciate it -
I looked through /bin/ and /lib/ and i couldnt find anythin to do with gtk,glib,atk,pango |
Is there any way in linux to :
1) See exactly what software you have installed, not just packages but the stuff you compiled from source. 2) Uninstall it, easily?? Thanks |
