Problem in installating vcdimager because of PKG_CONFIG_PATH environmental variable!

koodoo · 08-20-2005, 08:25 AM

Hi,

I was trying to install vcdimager-0.7.23 from source. I uncompressed it and started the install process when configure reported an error :

Code:

----------------------------------------------- lots of output here ------------------------------------------------------------

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for libcdio >= 0.72... Package libcdio was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcdio.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libcdio' found
configure: error: Required libcdio library not found. Please get libcdio from http://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/ and install it.
koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$

So then i went to http://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/ and downloaded libcdio-0.75 and installed it.

I then tried installing vcdimager but configure gave the same error again.

Here is the output of slocate libcdio :

Code:

koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$ slocate libcdio
/win2/koodoo/backups/Sources -- Projects/vcdimager project/GNU Compact Disc Input and Control Library (libcdio).html
/win2/koodoo/backups/Sources -- Projects/vcdimager project/libcdio-0.75.tar.gz
/win2/koodoo/backups/Sources -- Projects/vcdimager project/libcdio-0.75.tar.gz.sig

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcdio.pc

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcdio_paranoia.pc

/usr/local/lib/libcdio_paranoia.a
/usr/local/info/libcdio.info
koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$

So I did this :

Code:

koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
koodoo@knapsacker:~/vcdimager-0.7.23$ ./configure

But again configure gave the same error.
I even tried setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libio.pc" but with the same result.
Finally I tried the command $ ./configure --with-PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
but again with the same result.

I know I may be doing something very wrong or stupid here. But I do not know what it is?
Help needed.

Thanks in anticipation.

"No package 'libcdio' found"

You need to install the libcdio-devel package.

Hi, thanks for the help.
But I think I'll be needing some more of it.

I am currently working on Slackware 10.0

I like installing packages from source, but I could not find a source package for libcdio-devel.
So I downloaded libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5.i386.rpm. When I tried to install it, I got some dependency problems :

Code:

root@knapsacker:/home/koodoo/workspace# rpm -ivh libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5.i386.rpm
warning: libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcdio = 0.75-1.fc5 is needed by libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5
        pkgconfig is needed by libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5
root@knapsacker:/home/koodoo/workspace#

I even tried installing libcdio-devel-0.73.i386.rpm, but had similar dependency problems.
I have already installed licdio-0.75 from source, and I also think that I have pkgconfig installed.

So, I installed libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5.i386rpm with the --nodeps flag.
I know one mistake that I was making here is that this rpm is made for Fedora Core 1 but I couldn't find anything more appropriate

Then I went on to install vcdimager.
Here's what configure returned.

Code:

 --------------------------------------- lot of stuff here ---------------------------------------------------------

Setup:
  Install path:     /usr/local
  Build CLI FE:     yes
  Build XML FE:     yes
  Maintainer mode:  no

root@knapsacker:/home/koodoo/workspace/vcdimager-0.7.23#

I then proceeded to make but got the following error message :

Code:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [vcdimager] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/workspace/vcdimager-0.7.23/frontends/cli'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/workspace/vcdimager-0.7.23/frontends'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/koodoo/workspace/vcdimager-0.7.23'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What should I do now ?

Thanks in anticipation.

"What should I do now ?"

Uninstall the libcdio-devel-0.75-1.fc5.i386rpm. Then find a combination of libcdio and libcdio-devel packages that are compatable with each other and install them.
