undefined reference to `g_assertion_message_expr when trying to compile jpilot


When trying to compile jpilot J-Pilot version 0.99.9 from source i had to upgrade some libs such as pango and another I just forgot, the reason i'm trying to install from source on kubuntu is that the ubuntu 0.99.10 version has this bug where when one hotsyncs and backs it about every other time backups re-downloads the prc files from the palm pilot even tho they are up to date. I submitted this bug and was told to compile from source since it should of been fixed in the source version on the site, and so that' what i'm trying to do with not luck at all.

oh! i remember now, I had to update Glib and Pango from the main sites to compile/install GTK and libs which is needed to compile jpilot. & Again i got past the rest of the errors when compiling and this is where i'm stuck. A search hasn't gotten me really anywhere.

Thanks to Simon Bridge on this forum site, and of course a little thought afterwards as the libs weren't anywhere said in the Makefile, I was able to install/compile it and all along it was really simple, so if anyone has any problems with g_assertion errors try:

./configure

Open up the Makefile with a text editor, and replaced all /usr/lib with /usr/local/lib and try compiling again but first make sure to do a sudo make clean to clean up. If you get no g_assertion errors of any kind, try then to make install it or if you have checkinstall a checkinstall -D make install if using debian, and change D to the option for your specific distro.

oh what did Simon do, he told me where I had to go to make changes in which I was utternly confused of where to go to order the libaries as you have to do it in the programs Makefile of which I didn't do since like I said the libs weren't exactly in there as per a search, however like I said before just changing /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib fixed it for me and again lastly I hope this helps others out.
