Problem compiling gtkmm

mess_enger_guy · 06-28-2007, 09:53 AM

Hello,

I am using Linux from past 1 month, right now I've got CentOS 5.0 installed. I wanted to use gparted for partitioning purposes and downloaded the source code of gparted. Now it requires libsigc++, glibmm and gtkmm. I downloaded the source code of all these three libraries but after compiling libsigc++ and glibmm, got stuck on the configuration of gtkmm. I am trying to install gtkmm-2.10.10. When I run ./configure it gives me the following error:

checking for PANGOMM... configure: error: Package requirements (glibmm-2.4 >= 2.12.8 cairomm-1.0 >= 1.1.12 pangocairo >= 1.5.2) were not met:

No package 'cairomm-1.0' 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 PANGOMM_CFLAGS
and PANGOMM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

--------------------------------------------------------

Now I am unsure about what I require over here. I've got glibmm-2.12.10, cairomm 1.2.4 and pango 1.14.9 installed. My cairo.pc, pango.pc and pangocairo.pc are in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. My glibmm-2.4.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. I added /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH shows:

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

I tried to give whatever information I thought would be useful, I am new to Linux so unsure about what to do now

. Any help would be appreciated...

If you compiled and installed cairomm 1.2.4 from source, there should be a file cairomm-1.0.pc in one of those pkgconfig libraries. But, apparently there isn't, and that's the problem. I've just looked, and I do have that .pc file.

Hey Greg, thanks for the reply. I've got cairomm installed through the rpm packages that came with my distro. I've confirmed, there is no cairomm-1.0.pc in any of those pkgconfig libraries. Should I try installing cairomm from the source? Do I need to install cairomm-devel??

Hey I tried installing cairomm-devel and it worked

Anyways thanks a lot for the help Greg.
