While installing gnocky PAG CONFIG_PATH_ERROR
 

Hi,
I have Fedora 10 installed. While installing gnocky-0.0.7 from source
I got the following error while compiling.
------------------------------------
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0, gthread-2.0 >= 2.0.0, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0, gnokii >= 0.5.7... Package gnokii was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnokii.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gnokii' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0, gthread-2.0 >= 2.0.0, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0, gnokii >= 0.5.7) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandardprefix so pkg-config can find them.
[santosh@localhost gnocky-0.0.1]$
-------------------------------------
When I searched for gtk it was in
/etc/gtk-2.0
/usr/include/gtk-2.0
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
/usr/share/gtk-2.0

When I searched for glib
/usr/include/glib-2.0
/usr/lib/glib-2.0
/usr/share/glib-2.0

When I searched for gthread
/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgthread-2.0.pc

When I searched for libglade
/usr/include/libglade-2.0
/usr/lib/libglade
/usr/share/xml/libglade

and I know gnokii is surely installed. Because I run it from shell.

Any help please?

Welcome to LQ. .. .. :) ..

A missing "package", gnokii means /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gnokii.pc .

Did you install 'gnokii-devel' ? # yum install gnokii-devel

..

Will installing old version of gnocky solve the problem?
 

Hi,knudfl
Thanks, for your quick responce.
Being from other OS community I was expecting late response. I just heard that one of the best thing of using the linux is that you will get quick help.and now I am experiencing just that. May linux community grow.
gnokii.pc not found on my computer.
I had not installed gnokii-devel.After your suggestion I was trying to install it. but it keeps updating too much packages. On my slow internet connection this was overnight practice.

Hi,knudfl

I tried installing gnokii 0.6.29 from source it was reporting mysql.h is missing. installtion was half complete.
I copied gnokii.pc from gnokii 0.6.29 source directory to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ and compiled gnocky. this time above error not appeared. but installation was not complete. Gnocky appeared in menu but not functioning. running it from shell gives error like
-------------------
[root@localhost gnocky-0.0.7]# gnocky
gnocky: error while loading shared libraries: libgnokii.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-----------------------

libgnokii.so.6 is in /usr/local/lib/ link to shared library
libgnokii.so.6.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ shared library

My SQL version is 14.12 Should I just search internet and copy mysql.h? and if in which directory?

Why not use the default 'gnoii-0.6.27' ? Isn't that OK ?
# yum install gnokii-devel

Installing to /usr/local/lib/ : Not all programs will look there.
I am not quite sure if /usr/local/lib/ is in the default search path.
First try : # /sbin/ldconfig
If 'libgnokii.so.6' is still not found, 1) either add a line to
/etc/ld.so.conf : /usr/local/lib ,,, and rerun # /sbin/ldconfig

2) Or start gnocky with :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib && gnocky

3) Still not working ? Then one must suspect, that gnocky is hard coded
to look in /usr/lib/ only : Install gnokii to /usr/lib/ .
Preferably by doing # yum install .....
And recompile gnocky to use gnokii version 0.6.27 .

P.S. : Copying files isn't sufficient.
The <-devel> packages contain other required files.
..

I will try all your suggestions.
Although with half completed installation of gnokii 0.6.29, Xgnokii installed now. and working perfect. I will give it a last try to gnokcy.otherwise I will be happy with Xgnokii.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,Kundfl

Yeah,... starting gnoky with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib && gnocky opened the gnocky and working perfect.

1) Installing gnokii-devel simply wasn't possible on my slow internet connnection.

2) Issuing command /sbin/ldconfig showed error
----------
[santosh@localhost ~]$ /sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file /etc/ld.so.conf: Too many open files
-------------

3) I have not tried editing /etc/ld.so.conf file.

Looking at gnocky has only two features I found Xgnokii too good.
So I am using Xgnokii.

Thanks for your timely help.
