I tried everything...
Now is the time to ask...

Fresh installed and updated RH9
I want to install Screem package.

When I run ./configure last lines are:

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** 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 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

I downloaded latest glib-2.2.3
And succefully run .\configure -make -make install

I tried again to run .\configure for Screem and got
exactly the same message:

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** 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 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

So I checked my config.log:

[root@localhost screem-0.8.2]# less config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by screem configure 0.8.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

What to do? May be something in gcc?
But I compiled GLIB...

Thanks.
Michael.

try an rpm or tar download.

~It's sort of cheating but it works heh heh

Mossy please be more detailed...
I am too new to understand your laconic answer

to tar what?

I untared Screem and run .\configure

Try running 'ldconfig' as root to make sure the new GLIB libs get found.

mossy suggested not bothering with the source code but to use rpms instead.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search

most likely you'll want to use the command:

rpm -Ivh filename.rpm

if upgrading to a newer version and old version is still installed:

rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

you can also click the *.rpm file in the gui if you want and have kpackage or gnome package manager install the rpm.

Thanks
Advices are good. But there is no RPM...

Better help me to solve the problem

Idconfig is not there

[root@localhost /]# Idconfig
-bash: Idconfig: command not found
[root@localhost /]# man idconfig
No manual entry for idconfig
[root@localhost /]# locate Idconfig
[root@localhost /]# locate idconfig
[root@localhost /]#

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/ldconfig.8.html

Or you can try this: http://download.fedora.us/fedora/red....0.94.i386.rpm
It is not 0.8.2 (i.e. "bleeding edge" ) but may do the job if everything else fail.

I run
/sbin/ldconfig -v ( took it from example ldconfig manual )


very long listing.. didn't find glib
all lines begin by l... (
what you will suggest?
I compiled glib and all 3 steps run well...


....
libOSMesa.so.4 -> libOSMesa.so.4.0
libICE.so.6 -> libICE.so.6.3
/usr/lib/sane:
libsane.so.1 -> libsane-v4l.so.1.0.9
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib:

libqassistantclient.so.1 -> libqassistantclient.so.1.0.0
libeditor.so.1 -> libeditor.so.1.0.0
libdesigner.so.1 -> libdesigner.so.1.0.0
/lib/i686: (hwcap: 0x8000000000000)
librt.so.1 -> librt-2.3.2.so
libm.so.6 -> libm-2.3.2.so
libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so
libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.10.so
/lib/tls: (hwcap: 0x8000000000000000)
librt.so.1 -> librt-2.3.2.so
libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.34.so
libthread_db.so.1 -> libthread_db-1.0.so
libm.so.6 -> libm-2.3.2.so
libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so

Open /etc/ld.so.conf and check for existence of line containing '/usr/local'. If it is not there simply add it and then rerun 'ldconfig'. Or better yet do 'make uninstall' in the directory containing glib, erase that directory and unpack downloaded archive again. Then do the './configure && make && make install' procedure again, but this time as './configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install'. Then run 'ldconfig' again. After that try with that Screem package (again ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install, but without 'ldconfig', because it is not necessary).

Hi pesho_p,
I did first part. reinstalled glib as you suggested.
Before I'll run Screem, I want to be sure not to mess up again.

How to run properly ldconfig? (Please exact way)

I very want to succed with that

sorry about the brevity of last post - I meant what megaspaz says.

I didn't run ldconfig because don't know for what directory
but after proper reinstall of glib I moved forward...
How to fix new error?
How to adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable?
I found Screem rpm at freshrpms finally
But I would like to get satisfaction from compiling...
After your advices I will review all...
Doing all that is good to improve the knowledge of Linux.
Thanks.

[root@localhost screem-0.8.2]#

I found simple solution.
RPM

I did it throug Synaptic

It installed another missed package and after Screem.

Thanks to all.

yaahoo!
