Hi guys, I have used the threads, and help already posted to help me compile gaim 0.73, but to compile the source i have had to compile other dependencies and such, a couple of which i am having problems with.

The main problem is "Pkgconfig" I ./configure it and it is fine until I try to make or "make install" it, when it gives me this error

Code:

[goalie31@localhost pkgconfig-0.9.0]$ make install

Making install in glib-1.2.8

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/goalie31/pkgconfig-0.9.0/glib-1.2.8'

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/goalie31/pkgconfig-0.9.0/glib-1.2.8'

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I am stumped :( and ny help is accepted.

Thank you in advance

Can you copy and paste the error that
make
(all by itself) gives you?

Cheers,
Tink

Type in make clean.
Then ./configre && make.
Post up the last few lines (~20) of output make gives you.

Alrighty, I typed in "make clean" and it did this:

Code:

[goalie31@localhost pkgconfig-0.9.0]$ make clean

Making clean in .

So i went on with ./configure and make and make install...anyways, now it gives me this error:

Code:

make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/goalie31/pkgconfig-0.9.0'

make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/goalie31/pkgconfig-0.9.0'

Continued because of length....

Here is the "make install" code

Im sorry, that is a lot of code, but in hopes of you guys being able to help i posted it all.

Thanks again

Does it work in superuser mode? Usually you can make things as a normal user but not install them because you don't have the right permissions.

You mean root user?

I will try that:D

No, I mean superuser :)

What do you think su stands for? ;)

Never heard of superuser :p

Thanks, ill try that ;)

The superuser you are referring to is root. I think su would stand for switch user, but I'm not sure. su can switch to any user :)

Thanks alot :D

It worked, and im now enjoying MSn messenger on gaim :D
