gdesklets and Redhat 9
 

I am running RedHat 9 with the latest updates from RedHat.
I have tried numerous times to install and run gDesklets, to no avail.
I keep on getting gnome-pyhton dependecies, although newer versions exist.
Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

same with me :(

i get this: configure: error: Library requirements (gnome-python-2.0 >= 1.99.17 pygtk-2.0 >= 1.99.17) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

in apt itsays i have gnome-python2 99-14...even though i have 2.0.2-5 installed...can anybody help?
:(

I have the same problem, I'm trying to install gDesklets, and Im getting that error.
When i first tried, the ./configure fell over when trying to find PKG_Config, but i think i fixed that when i installed pkgconfig... lol

But yeah, I try and install python-2 from the RPM on the Fedora CD and it says its already installed...... whats going on?

I'm having the same problem...I tried updating python with the rpm I got from their site, still doesn't work. Anybody find a way to fix this yet?

same problem here
??!!??

wow, this sucks...nobody seems to know. I'm not experienced enough with Linux to know where to start to figure it out.

Somebody please help!!!!!

PROBLEM SOLVED!
 

Okay, here is what your problem is:

When installing gnome-python, it created a file called gnome-python-2.0.pc this file contains all of the information required to tell the program pkg-config that you are running the right version of gnome-python. What you have to do is do a search for this file and you should get two results, one of them if you open it will have Version- then whatever the older version you were running is, the other one will have version-2.0.0, or whatever new version you are running. Remember where that file is located, on my comp. it was /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gnome-python-2.0.pc. Then go to the gnome-python directory before you try ./config, if you've already done it, re-extract the contents of the file where you can start fresh. then from terminal, before typing ./configure, type this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH= then the location where the newer .pc file was for example:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH= /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

then run ./configure and it should pick up your newer version of gnome-python, that is if you have updated it
