simple variable problem that makes me head hurts :]

I'm trying to install DVDplayer...

This is what I get

Code:

configure: error:
        Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
        where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
        'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
        equivalent variable and wxWidgets is version 2.4.2 or above.

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ [n]whereis[/b] wx-config
wx-config: /usr/bin/wx-config /usr/local/bin/wx-config

also

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ /usr/bin/wx-config --libs
-pthread   -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.6 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.6 -lwx_baseu_net-2.6 -lwx_baseu-2.6

and the other one gives me

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ /usr/local/bin/wx-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -pthread -lwx_base-2.3

which means I want to use the first one (/usr/bin/wx-config)
done

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib"

and got the same error!

any tips?

Did you try /usr/bin/wx-config and /usr/local/bin/wx-config with "--version-full" to see exactly what versions are installed?

The problem isn't the library path (well, not the primary problem,
anyway), but the path to the executable. You a) edit your ~/.bashrc
to have the /usr/bin bit before the /usr/local one or b) give ./configure
the full path to the version you want to use (for most cases of configure,
the mileage for the one you're using may vary).

Cheers,
Tink

you wouldn't believe what the problem was!!!

wx-config --libs works, so I never assumed wxWindows isn't installed!
and infact it wasn't installed (atleast not in 2.4 version or up)

reinstalled it, and setup passed that stage :]

LOL! That was funny

atleast I passed that

Thanks everyone
