Trouble compiling Bluefish

Hi!
I'm trying to compile bluefish because there were no working rpm for me, but I get a strange error.

Code:

linux:/home/zth/bluefish-0.13 # ./configure

configure: error: libgtk2.0-dev missing please install libgtk2.0-dev

The thing is that I've got gtk2, gtk, and all those packages installed, and I've got all the devels installed to. I can't find any specific libgtk2.0-dev on any site. Help please

I have bluefish installed. I listed the bluefish dependencies with:
rpm -qR bluefish
and got:
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
libORBit-2.so.0
libaspell.so.15
libatk-1.0.so.0
libbonobo-activation.so.4
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)
libdl.so.2
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
libgmodule-2.0.so.0
libgnomevfs-2.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libgthread-2.0.so.0
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libm.so.6
libpango-1.0.so.0
libpangox-1.0.so.0
libpangoxft-1.0.so.0
libpcre.so.0
libpthread.so.0
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)
librt.so.1
rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1

The closest filename that I see to the error message is libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 which is provided by the package gtk2-devel.

Still don't work! I get furious at this shit! I HAVE GtK2-DEVEL, WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?!?!?

did you look at config.log?

and you have to give a little more info if you wan't info back.

distro?
version of gtk2 installed?
where is it located?
do you have gtk+-2.0.pc (search for it in /usr/lib/pkgconfig or wherever the prefix is for gtk2)?

I got the apt-get for SuSE working now, and I tried apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev but it didn't find anything. Yes, I ran apt-get update before.

Distro: Suse
GTK2: 2.4.0-9
location: /opt/gnome and various dirs
the dir /usr/lib/pkconfig exists but contains nothing.

ok as root run:

updatedb

then:

slocate gtk+-2.0.pc

What we are looking for is the root of the gtk2 installation so we can set up the paths for configure to find it.

for example if gtk2 is installed into /opt/lib (check /opt/lib/pkgconfig for the pc file) then we need to tell configure to look there instead of its normal paths (/usr/ /usr/local)

by the way,

there are some Suse bluefish rpm's on the mirror sites (go to the bluefish homepage->download and choose a mirror ( i chose the CO mirror) and go to archives) so you might want to try those

zenith_zth · 01-05-2005, 07:43 PM

I did, they gave me even more deps.

None of those commands worked.

Well,

theres not many places gtk2 can be. I'd look in either /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig or if you think some libs are installed in /opt look in /opt/lib/pkgconfig for the file gtk+-2.0.pc.

If this package is not on your system anywhere (and theres no reason it shouldn't be with gtk and gtk-devel installed) you will not be able to compile anything that depends on gtk2.

If you do find this file, you need to set you pkg_config_path to point to it like this:
===========================================

(assuming it is installed in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig for example)

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

===========================================

the above command sets /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to the beginning of the search path for the program
pkg-config. If you cannot find the file anywhere, try to reinstall gtk-2 on your system
