Hi, it's me again.
I'm trying to configure gtk+ as a dependency for Wulfor reloaded and i'm getting this error message:
configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.7.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
although i've been installing all the packages above. So, where can i find the pkg_config_path string to add the value to it or whatever else i should do?
Thanks for the other answer.

gotta guess the usual problem that you've not installed glib-devel, atk-devel or pang-devel from RPM....

This is a very common problem when you're new to linux (me myself included)

As the error says: "configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.7.0) not met;" You need to install these packages first before you can compile gtk+

you can install using rpm packages but I always try to compile the packages manually.

Download the source of thsese glib-2, atk, and pango packages

Then when you do ./configure just specify the path where it goes by using --prefix
Something like this
once done you can verify whether it's install

this should return the version number of your package installed. Hope that helps

erm,..... no. don't do that. that's a REALLY bad way to do it.

1) you install suse 9.2 which includes gtk2-2.6, glib, atk etc.. by default as rpms, against which other gtk apps are dynamically linked.

2) you try to install something from source

3) source complains you don't have gtk2 installed

4) you install gtk2 fully from source.

5) you have headers for gtk2-2.7 in /usr/local/include

6) you have libraries for gtk2-2.7 in /usr/local/lib/gtk

7) you have libraries for gtk2-2.6 in /usr/lib/gtk

8) you compile your program, it links against the wrong thing.

9) you have a sack of crap for a system eventually.

do not just reinstall from scratch. it's really not the way to a healthy system unless you actually REMOVE the existing install of gtk2.

so once again... install gtk2-devel glib-devel etc... and THEN go back and ./configure your source pacakge again, and it should be fine.
