hello!

i have got a little problem!

i get the following error message when i want to compile hal:

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0, gobject-2.0 >= 2.6.0, dbus-glib-1 >= 0.33, dbus-1 >= 0.33) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

i have got glib2-2.6.3 and glib-1.2.10 but not glib-2.6.x
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable .... i don't have this variable!!
and when i type glib-config --version then i get 1.2.10 although i have the version 2.6.3

what's the problem?

-thx-

What is your output with :
pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion

dramen · 05-16-2005, 05:13 AM

root@dramen:~# pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion
2.6.3

Did you try to skip those configure tests, try ./configure --help to see if
there is a way to skip them

which slackware version are you on?

dramen · 05-16-2005, 06:31 AM

yes i tried ./configure --help [ | grep glib] but there was no way to skip it (because glib is very important).

i have got slackware 10.1

I'm having a similar problem, mine claims

hecking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0... Requested 'gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GTK+ is 2.2.1

pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion

returns 2.6.0

I've compiled and supposedly? installed 2.6.0... what gives?

what do you mean by that?
what should i do? reinstall gtk+??

dramen, are you meeting the other requirements too? It seems you've the glib the program needs, do you have the others (gobject-2.0 >= 2.6.0, dbus-glib-1 >= 0.33, dbus-1 >= 0.33)?

thepr0fess0r, I don't understand, you're comparing gtk with glib which are very different things...

thepr0fess0r · 05-16-2005, 07:37 AM

You know what? I'm an absolute retard!

I've been updating everything recently, and I've got my wires crossed again!

Why does everything have to start with G?!

gthanks!

Yea, I would say it's a dbus problem. gobject comes from glib2 I believe. dbus isn't a very popular prog, neither is hal... But hal does depend on dbus which doesn't come with slack. So if you haven't installed it, it's not there...

no i don't have them!

This brings up a problem I've been having for awhile, I need to upgrade both my glib and gtk+,

Code:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0    atk >= 1.0.1    pango >= 1.8.0... Requested 'pango >= 1.8.0' but version of Pango is 1.2.1

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0    atk >= 1.0.1    pango >= 1.8.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

but I supposedly installed glib 2.6.something... well, I ran configure, make, make install anyways...

I guess I just can't get my glib installed....

jong357 · 05-16-2005, 09:16 PM

You guys need to start actually reading your errors...

It clearly states that the pango on your system is too old. It needs 1.8.0 or greater...

thepr0fess0r · 05-16-2005, 09:23 PM

It also says that glib is too old. I'm more concerned about it right now... it seems to be installed, I've got a glib-2.0 directory in /usr/include, does anyone know what's up?

Oh, slack 9.1 btw.
