i just installed slack9.0
and i'm compiling galeon..

locate gnome-config returns
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libgnome/libgnome-gnome-config.html
/usr/include/libgnome-2.0/libgnome/gnome-config.h

checking if NautilusView Galeon component is wanted... no
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.8... no
*** The gnome-config script installed by GNOME could not be found
*** If GNOME was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GNOME_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gnome-config.
configure: error:
*** GNOME 1.2.8 or better is required.
*** gdk-pixbuf 0.14.0 or better is required.
*** gnome-vfs 1.0.1 or better is required.
*** libglade 0.13 or better is required.

well it will be in the gnome-devel pakage normally, no idea wether this is a seperate package for slack or not, is for any RPM based distro. have you tried galeon 1.3 though? uses gnome 2 not 1.4

yeah i'm using galeon 1.3 now
but quiet not satisfied

can't go back with side button
can't modify key mapping as i could in 1.2.*

it's on slack
thanks

heh that's why i don't use 1.3!

doublefailure · 03-25-2003, 12:16 PM

yeah i wish i could go back
actually i tried, but it takes loads of low version library
so i was afraid to mess up system and stopped..

1.3.3 seems also slower than 1.2.8

I am assuming the new Gnome doesn't use gnome-config cause when I try to install enlightenment from source it uses gnome-config to get the menu entries I believe, for the gnome section, and theres never anything in there and if you look for an error message is says it can't find gnome-config...

I also have probs with gnome-config. I can't compile som apps cuz gnome-config is missing.... =( !?

JoooN , i found gnome-config in one of slack 8.1 packages
u can find what packages have it by looking at MANIFEST file
(the file is on any slack mirror)

is there another way than starting the compile engines from source.

converting rpms from other distris didnt work out
