first find out where your gtk-config is located by
locate gtk-config mine is in usr/bin, which is in my $PATH if yours is somewhere else (I dont know mandrake), just add it to your $PATH, or just create a GTK_CONFIG variable with that dir in it....my system doesn't even use that variable by: export GTK_PATH=/your/path/to/configfile then check it by echo $GTK_PATH you can add the GTK_PATH variable permanently by adding the line to .bashrc or .bash_profile btw, just to make sure you have gtk installed(it should be) try rpm -qa | grep gtk |
oh, i forgot to mention...if you just want to add the
directory to your current path, PATH=$PATH:/path/to/configfile |
have u installed gtk ? most probably u have.
install the gtk-devel , i.e. the development packages for gtk. |
Thanks for the kind responses!
Gtk was not installed so I installed all Gnome related dev packages from the install disks. Ran the ./config ; make ; and make install and xmms is up and running. :-) |
Thank you
