Error: checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0
 

hi guys and gals

I have just tried to install "bluefish 1.0.1" but need to update my gtk to gtk-2.6.7, which I did but this one asked me to update my glib to glib-2.6.4 which I also did but still no joy.

this is my final error message and I am no nearer to having my bluefish 1.0.1 which is all I want...

I am running Mandrake 10.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux - Distributions / Mandriva and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I have exactly the same error message as tahiche mentions above.

I've just migrated over to linux and don't really know what to do, as I thought things like glib would already be installed with the Mandriva installation, as it is meant to run 'out of the box'.

Can anyone help?

if you compiled it yourself, it would be in /usr/local whilst the scripts are looking for the packages in /usr. You could "make uninstall" and then reconfigure to install int the /usr prefix. Alternatively you may need to do,
before running the bluefish installation.

Trying to install gimp-print-5.0.0-beta2, I get the following when installing gtk

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.6, but GLIB (2.6.2)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.4.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/.

I've tried setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and also editing /etc/ld.so.conf, putting /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/lib - but no change.

Any ideas anybody?

Sorry - should have said my distribution is Mandrake 10.1, not 9.2 and I've also installed and uninstalled various versions of glib and gtk

hi ron ,
This is the problem with your library destinationss ..You just try
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if you have installed your glib in that directory and check it out once again ..

Thanks Anil

I'd actually managed to instal gimp-print, but not as a plug-in to gimp2. Following your advice I put in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for good measure and it completed all stages, apparently installing as a plug-in to gimp2. But when I open gimp2, there's no longer a printing facility.

Strange, really, because I've had it working as a plug-in before.

I'm not too worried, because I can print, using xpp, from Vuescan, which has some colour management. Gimp doesn't as yet.

Thanks again
