Problem building libs for synCE


Trying to build the required libs for synCE, www.synce.org, as listed in their web site under building from sources. Came upon a snag, on building the odccm library which needs gnet-2. I loaded gnet-2 from my distribution DVD, and then did an #ldconfig afterwards, but it still says that it needs gnet-2. Not sure why it can't see it. I tried to build gnet-2 from source, but had a difficult time finding it as it is deprecated and Gnome only had the latest build which did not build (errors).

From configure script for odccm-0.11:
no package 'gnet-2.0' found. Part of configure script is below.

Code:
if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
   if test -n "$GNET_CFLAGS"; then
      pkg_cv_GNET_CFLAGS="$GNET_CFLAGS"
   else
      if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG" && \
from #ldconfig -p
Code:
libgnet-2.0.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgnet-2.0.so.0
The build from source of gnet is from http://live.gnome.org/GnetLibrary
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnet/2.0

Build error from source for gnet 2:

Code:
In file included from gnetcheck.c:21:0:
gnetcheck.h: In function '__gnet_tcase_add_test':
gnetcheck.h: 318:5: error: too few arguments to function '__tcase_add_test'

That means, the odccm-0.11 configure looks for /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gnet-2.0.pc

gnet-2.0.pc is provided by the package 'libgnet-dev' :

Thanks for the reply, but I was building this on OpenSuse 11.3. Did you know where I can get the source files for it? Note that I did also try to use rpm to install all the missing libraries using an OpenSuse repository manually because I was havnig problems with the OpenSuse package manager not seeing the repositories that I can see with the web browser (subject of another post). In that effort with rpm, it got snagged at a point of library dependency not resolving. Trying to resolve lib dependencies by hand with rpm is a tedious task.

The Suse package name = gnet-devel : # zypper in gnet-devel

Or : # rpm -Uvh gnet-devel-2.0.8-7.1.i586.rpm gnet-2.0.8-7.1.i586.rpm
Dependencies: glib2-devel-2.24.1-3.3.1.i586.rpm glib2-2.24.1-3.3.1.i586.rpm
Use x86_64 packages, if you have a 64bits OS
The packages were found by using the links in your Yast thread: oss + update.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4/#post4417636

Source code : http://download.opensuse.org/source/
> http://download.opensuse.org/source/.../oss/suse/src/
