I am trying to install GNUCash under Slack 9.1. I've run ./configure and I get this output at the end:
checking for gnome-config... no
configure: error: Could not find gnome-config

I think I installed all gnome files when I installed slackware. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy

I may be wrong on this one, but you may want to look for a program called pkgconfig.

Hope this helps

I'm not clear how that would help

I googled and on the GnuCash mailing list it said to install
libgnome-dev

pkgconfig (if I remember correctly) will keep configuration details (of your
machine) in .pc files, I recall that is: paths to libraries and headers
of a particular software (here: Gnome) version, in case these are not
installed in the (expected by Gnome) default libraries. Ah I've made some
notes (which are for SuSE, not sure if they'll work under your distro),
saying that you'll have to set PGK_CONFIG_PATH to the path containing
your .pc file, and my notes say pkg-config (as it's really called) is
required to develop under Gnome (only have taken first steps in this).
Maybe there's a ready made package in your distro, too?
BTW Google comes up with
http://freshmeat.net/projects/pkgconfig/?topic_id=45

I also found that post, but I cannot find the file anywhere. Any leads?

I have done some more work and I have found that I have gconf installed. Is this the same as gnome-config?

(Sorry for the delay) I looked things up, (under SuSE 9.0) gnome-config isn't
in the Gnome lib packages but in some developer package; it was missing
on my new 9.0 installation, after installing ALL Gnome packages it was
there. pkg-config is a separate package.

what are you actually trying to do?

gnome-config is a configuration script for gnome 1 to 1.4
pkgconfig is a configuration package that is used by gnome 2 and newer

I'm guessing you are trying to compile a program written for the old version of gnome, while using the new release. In order to compile this you would need to install the old version of gnome.
