Hello.

While I'm not entirely new to Linux, I'm new enough to get lost pretty easy. I just migrated from Kubuntu to Zenwalk 6.2 to try to get my hands a little more dirty. Anyway, I've been trying to install the Multi Gnome Terminal but I just can't seem to find out how to do it. I've tried the source file with the tar.gz and the x86 tarball.

This is what I get when I try to install the source file:


root[multi-gnome-terminal-1.6.2]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake-1.4... missing
checking for working autoheader... found

checking for intltool >= 0.12... 0.22 found
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install
root[multi-gnome-terminal-1.6.2]#




And this is what I get when I try to install the X86 file:

root[mgt_install]# ./install.sh
./install.sh: line 4: gnome-config: command not found

multi-gnome-terminal succesfully installed!
root[mgt_install]# multi-gnome-terminal
multi-gnome-terminal: error while loading shared libraries: libglade-gnome.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


It says it's installed, but when I try to run it it gives me this error message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you install gnome-libs?

The missing file gnomeConf.sh is provided by
the package ' libgnome-dev ', still available.
EDIT : Sorry, wrong package name for zenwalk.

"gnome-libs-1.4.x" : Last time seem in Slackware 8.1 ?
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.slac...ackware/gnome/
gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz provides /usr/lib/gnomeConf.sh

These eight year old gnome-1.4.x files indicate,
that you are trying to build a very old application.

Thanks knudfl,
I was able to install the libs no problem, but now this error shows up:

checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: GTK not installed


an clues for this?

The application I am trying to install is called MGT (Multi Gnome Terminal) There was a slackware based download but the link is no longer available... sigh.

Thanks for the help.

Well, you will need the old gtk+-1.2.10-i486-4.tgz,
and the dependency glib-1.2.10-i486-3.tgz

Packages from Slackware 9.1...13 should be usable,
if no zenwalk packages are available.

On Slackware, these two are usually installed at
OS install together with gtk2-2.xx.x / glib2-2.xx.x.
.....

How do I get packages? I searched the ftp placed in the 9.1 but I could only find gtk-engines-2.2.0... Thanks for helping.

It is your zenwalk version, that would determine,
which packages to use. Please always tell OS version
by every question.

If you are not sure of the Slackware used for your zenwalk,
an older one will be a safe choice.
