after entering into mozilla and using ./configure i am getting the following error message.................

Code:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7... Package gobject-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gobject-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gobject-2.0', required by 'GdkPixbuf', not found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

he requirements of mozilla of this version r ..........................,

[color = red]
*Linux
-The following library versions (or compatible) are
required: glibc 2.1, XFree86 3.3.x, GTK 1.2.x, Glib
1.2.x, Libstdc++ 2.9.0. Red Hat Linux 6.0,
Debian 2.1, and SuSE 6.2 (or later) installations
should work.
-Red Hat 6.x users who want to install the Mozilla
RPM must have at least version 4.0.2 of rpm
installed.
-Intel Pentium class processor (233 MHz or faster
recommended)
-64MB RAM
-26MB free hard disk space [/color]

where as my gtk+- version is above 2. because i am using f7...................

Hi charm200 and welcome to LQ.

thunderbird-2.0.0.5-1.fc7.src.rpm is not a binary rpm. Its a source rpm (hence *src.rpm) for developers to look at or for individuals to rebuild into a binary. The right rpm would be thunderbird-2.0.0.5-1.fc7.i386.rpm. Better still follow macemoneta's advice and install thunderbird using YUM.

To convert (compile) the source rpm to a binary you will need to download all the necessary header (-devel) rpms as well as the appropriate development tools. You would then use the rpmbuild command to create the binary.

For your purposes (since you are not modifying the software), simply downloading the binary will save considerable effort.
