FC8-x86_64
Trying to compile a efax-gtk app and I'm getting a error message.
What pkg-config command would I run to fix things ??

Do you have GTK2 installed?

install the gtk2-devel package through yum. but i assume efax-gtk is available in yum already anyway, so just run "yum install efax-gtk" and forget about compiling software altogether for now. (yum package name may vary i guess...)

You are missing Gtk+, or your Gtk+ version is less than 2. These ./configure messages can be ambiguous about whether you are missing the source or the binary version of the package that it is complaining about. You can check what Gtk packages you do have installed with:

rpm -qa | grep gtk | sort | less

not true, he's missing the C headers for the library, not the library itself necessarily. the chances of not already having a perfectly capable gtk2 installed on fc8 are next to zero.

There are two separate packages gtk2-devel and gtk+-devel. From the error message I think you need gtk+-devel.

The gtk+-devel and gtk2-devel for both i386 and x86_64 are installed.

All these packages where installed by yum.

What is the yum command that performs the same as rpm -e --nodeps ?

The problem of deleting packages when you have two packages of same name, but a i386 and X86_64 package.

Isn't there a command for package-config to put all packages in package-config path.

efax-gtk is only available as tar.gz, efax is available as a rpm.

i'd see no reason at all to doubt the configure script really. list the rpm db for gtk relevant packages as described above.

and it's *definitely* gtk2-devel you need, not gtk+-devel.

Well gtk2-devel is installed the i386 and x86_64 both.
I will try to uninstall and reinstall both packages.

What is the yum command that performs the same as rpm -e --nodeps ?

check the yum manpage for command options, that's what it's there for. can you please *prove* to us that it's installed?

Is there a particular reason that you don't install the efax app that is in the repos?

Show us what's installed with
