installing xvidcap on suse linux with missing libs
hi,
im installing xvidcap 1.1.7 on suse linux 11 enterprise server and im facing missing packages.
Code:
checking if msgfmt accepts -c... yes
checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for xgettext... (cached) /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for catalogs to be installed... de en it es
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libglade-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'libglade-2.0' found
No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PACKAGE_CFLAGS
and PACKAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
i checked my software repo via yast and i have the following installed:
- gtk2 - Library for Creation of Graphical User Interfaces (version 2)
- glib2 - A Library with Convenient Functions Written in C
- libglade2 - Glade Library Compatible with the GNOME 2.x Desktop Platform
- libgthread-2_0-0 - A Library with Convenient Functions Written in C
what should i do? it says i should set my package_cflags and package_libs. but how should i do that?

Reason: added xvidcap version
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2023 Fedora38 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Rep:
# 3 : No, none of the three packages are on the install DVD.
Usually you would type : 1) su <enter password>
2) zypper in <package> <package> <package>
... to get the packages installed.
But it won't work unless you have paid for the "SLE 11" support.
Please show the output from the commands :
a) uname -m
b) rpm -qa glib2
c) rpm -qa gtk2
d) rpm -qa libglade2
sorry i was away for a while. as request, the outputs from the commands are:
1) x86_64
2) glib2-2.22.5-0.2.23
3) gtk2-2.18.9-0.21.4
4) libglade2-2.6.4-1.2.267
hi knudfl, thank you so much. you have been so much help!!! i managed to install xvidcap dependencies successfully. anyhow, i ran ./configure make make install, but where is it installed to? i can't find xvidcap in application browser nor in /usr/local/share/omf/xvidcap. is it installed correctly?? how can i check?
hi knudfl, my installed dir is /usr/local/share/omf/xvidcap. there isnt a application dir in share. anyway the xvidcap dir is empty. strange!!! im not sure if it is installed correctly
can you post the error .
I am guessing it is a mismatch in the
glib2-2.22.5-0.2.23 AND glib2-devel-2.22.5-0.2.23
gtk2-2.18.9-0.21.4 AND gtk2-devel-2.18.9-0.21.4
libglade2-2.6.4-1.2.267 AND libglade2-devel-2.6.4-1.2.267
some of those are dependencies for other programs
but
gtk2-tools-2.24.7-2.5.1.x86_64
gtk2-devel-2.24.7-2.5.1.x86_64
gtk2-data-2.24.7-2.5.1.noarch
------
All match
can you post the error you are getting http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidcap/?source=dlp
is from 2009 and uses ffmpeg ( the OLD single threaded version i am guessing )
and not the current multi threaded one
i would expect some ffmpeg error
on OpenSUSE 12.1-64 bit, using an older gcc ( gcc4.1 ) i get this make error
@nuttynibbles : Please do not try to build xvidcap yourself.
None of the available { 1.1.7 sources, src packages / patches }
seem to work with SLE 11.
( I tried with a couple of SRC.RPMS , and the Debian "src" : No luck.)
.
hi knudfl, i downloaded xvidcap rpm and tried to install. it gives an error:
rpm -i xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64.rpm
warning: xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: NOKEY, key ID 1abd1afb
error: Failed dependencies:
libmp3lame.so.0()(64bit) is needed by xvidcap-1.1.7-5.2.x86_64
so i installed libmp3lame from here. more of it can be found here.
so i installed and im getting segemtation fault. see below for more error:
# rpm -i libmp3lame0-3.99.5-1002.1.x86_64.rpm
