Hi.
I'm trying to install bluefish .13 on my computer. It says it needs gtk+-2.2 for it. I went to their website, and it says it needs glib, and couple other packages. Before I go and install all of that. Does FC2 has those packages on the CD? I used to use Mandrake and it came with nifgy program that you could use to see which packages you have installed, and which ones are available. I seriously doubt something like this exists in FC2. Is there at least a command line program that does it?
Thx.

u can go to add/remove programs and install the gnome compile/ develop tools it will have gtk+ and all the libraries

Ah, I looked under gnome devel. package and found some references to GTK and glib. It didn't say what version it is.

do
rpm -qa|grep gtk
u will find the version of gtk installed from the packege name

FC 2
has gtk2-2.4.0-1
installed

regards

its better to use a package manager like apt to let it automatically resolve the dependancies

e.g. in apt all u have to do is type : apt-get install bluefish
it will then check its dependacies and install any one u dont have like glib , gtk

and there is a gui program for it called synaptic

hi

before installing packages from the internet it is always better to check if u have that packages in ur distributiuon CDs

regards

Thats what I'm trying to do.
Tried installing synaptic it said it needed xmlto, tried installing that and it couldn't install it.

hi
what went wrong????

post ur eror msgs here

regards

Synaptic-0.53

Q: I'm trying to build xmlto on my Debian box, but it doesn't work.

A: If you get `Attempt to load network entity' errors when building
xmlto, your system does not have the required support for XML
Catalogs
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees...001-08-06.html).
In particular, Debian has no support for these. Try the Fedora
Project <http://fedora.redhat.com>.
make[1]: *** [man/man1/xmlto.1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/umneydurak/xmlto-0.0.18'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Looked in to fedora website, but I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be looking for.

hi there

xmlto is in the fedora CD, i have it installed by fealult

[root@gaurav root]# rpm -qa|grep xmlto

Ok. Now I'm getting this error message when installing syaptic
"checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0, pango >= 1.0.0, glib-2.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found"
When I try to install gtk+-2.2.4 I get this:
"checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found"
But I have glib installed. I installed glib-2.2.3 did ./configure, make, make install with no problems.
What gives?

hi
why don't u install rpms from ur CD of the distribution(glib is there in fedora 2)
they install the files in the standard location

now u will have to see where is gtk installed,most probably in /usr/local/lib
so add the /usr/local/lib to the file
/etc/ld.so.conf

run ldconfig

or install packages from the distro's CD

Sorry I forgot to mention. When I tried to install Gnome dev. packages it said it couldn't do it because xorg-x11-libs are not installed. Even thought those libs are installed.

hi
the best option for u is to go to
add remove appp. and install packages from there
that will take care of dependencies in ur packages

regards
gaurav

Yeah, thats what I tried to do. Thats when that error message is pops up.
Anyway I think I hosed the installation.
I added /usr/loclal/lib to the ld.so.conf file
then run ./ldconfig in /sbin. Now it hangs during boot. It boots fine till it hits login screen, but it doesn't get thee. It stops at black screen with an x cursor.
EDIT: Never mind booting with resuce disk removing /usr/local/bin and running ldconfig fixed it.

Anyway let me elaborate. I tried installing GNOME Software Development packages which contain the gtk+, I think, using the Add/Remove Applications program. And it gives me an error message Packages not Found: xorg-x11-libs.
I did rpm -qa|grep xorg-x11-libs, and I do have those packages insalled, so I don't know that a heck it's talking about.
Also I did try yum install and it said the same thing that xorg-x11-libs is installed.
