Compiling Source: GLIB problem

Toonses82 · 01-01-2006, 02:50 AM

I'm trying to install the latest version of Gnucash from source. I can't get past the glib problem.

Code:

checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 0.99.7... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: Cannot find glib. Check config.log

I looked around and found a thread herehttp://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...t=kubuntu+glib that said I need to install glib1.x and gtk1.x devel. I'm not sure if this is the solution to my problem, but if it is, how would I go about doing that?

If that's not my solution, what should I do?

Let's do a few things. As root, do:

Code:

 nice updatedb &

. You can log-off root and the job will continue to run, updating the locate database.

Now, as an ordinary user (and maybe after a few minutes)...

Code:

 locate glib-config

to see if the file exists or not.

That should help us point you in the right direction.

I don't think we're off to a very good start.

Code:

grassman@kubuntu:~$ su
Password:
root@kubuntu:/home/grassman# nice updatedb &
[1] 5694
root@kubuntu:/home/grassman# locate glib-config
[1]+  Done                    nice updatedb
Segmentation fault
root@kubuntu:/home/grassman#

Is there supposed to be a segmentation fault?
