gnome lib exists?
 

Hi all!!

I'm having a strange problem with my Debian SID compiling a program (for my creative jukebox)...

when I run the ./configure script I get this error during the execution:

...
...
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libgnome-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0... Package libgnome-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnome-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnome-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements ( glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libgnome-2.0
libgnomeui-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

************************************
ok...
so now I try to reinstall libgnome-2.0 libraries:

apt-get install --reinstall libgnome-2.0

...same error...


now I take a look in aptitude:

it appears with a i followed with an h...
help says that means the package is on hold... but I don't know what to do. What's the meaning of the error instructions?

thanks you very much for your time!!

you need the libgnome-devel-2.0 (or whatever it is called) package.
