I got the following message when trying to install fluxbox menu from source. (I don't do this often)
I got the following...
Code:

checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk

configure: error: Library requirements (glib >= 1.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
[root@localhost ftmenu-0.3]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[root@localhost ftmenu-0.3]#
What is wrong/how do I fix it?

checking for glib >= 1.2... Package glib was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib' found
Install glib 1.2 or higher.

Update libstdc++ or find out which package includes those classes and install it.
I went and installed everything mentioning glib in it, and now it is asking for gtk+-2.0. Where can I find that?
Exact error:
Code:
....
checking GLIB_LIBS... -lglib
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
The package you needed to install was glib-devel (glib-dev on some distros). The one that you need to install to fix the gtk+-2.0 is gtk2-devel ( or gtk2-dev). When compiling packages, if something is listed as "missing", usually you just need to install the corresponding development package.
Same place you got the glib packages.
It is quite unusual in linux to be able to compile anything without the -dev packages. I guess we just get used to it.
You learn something new everyday. lol. Still, I don't know what to install. I did a yum list | grep -i gtk to see what I can get, and this is what I got.
