Hi everyone. I don't know what I would do without this forum.
I have RedHAT Enterprise 5.3 and I wana be able to brows sites with swf flash like youtube and so on. Since RedHAT's uses the version 2.12 of glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6 and swfdec requires at least 2.16 I was unable to install it.
I tried installing from a source tar, and it actually did, I did ./configure than
make
make install
and all worked
but when I try to configure swfdec-0.8.4 I get this error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
checking for timezone support... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: glib-2.0, gobject-2.0 and gthread-2.0 >= 2.16 are required to build swfdec
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I even installed it in /usr <-- dir
./configure --prefix=/usr
but same result.
I tried:
yum localinstall ./glib2-2.22.2-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm ./glib2-devel-2.22.2-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
and
yum localupgrade ./glib2-2.22.2-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm ./glib2-devel-2.22.2-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
but looks like I should remove all the applications even yum and everythink from my system to make it work.
I even tried installing older versions of swfdec like 0.7.2 but they all seems to require same version of glib.
If anyone knows how to install the swfdec on redhat 5.3 it will help me a lot (I would probably be able to brows flash made websites), and if not then I guess no flash for me until December.
Thanks in advance
