Firefox3.0 Installation
I was trying to install Firefox 3.0 in Mandriva 2006. I downloaded firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 and
using #tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 I unzipped. When I give # sh firefox It shows that I require GTK+2.10 or greater. I Downloaded gtk+-2.12.10.tar.bz2 then # tar -jxvf gtk+-2.12.10.tar.bz2 Then I ran ./configure It showed the following error: checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.17.3 cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met: Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5' but version of GLib is 2.8.1 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.17.3 cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met: Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5' but version of GLib is 2.8.1 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. And then I downloaded glib, atk, pango, cairo. But I am a bit confused about installation and Setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Please Help Me.. |
Usually the path for PKG_CONFIG_PATH is /usr/lib/pkgconfig.
Try setting the variable. You may reduce the dependency issues by setting up the variable. But if packages are available through urpmi then that is a better option as all the packages will have their respective dependencies. |
If you only just installed Mandriva-2006, I would suggest you install the latest version instead. If you want to run the latest programs on an old distribution, you will keep having trouble with outdated libs and such.
