hi-

i am new to setting environment variables.
i found that on my system pkg-config is an
executable file residing in /usr/bin.

i see you can call that executable with options

like $ pkg-config --variable=prefix glib-2.0

now i am installing bluefish editor for linux.
i am going to do ./config and make and then make install

./config says this:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-2.0' found
No package 'gobject-2.0' found
No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'gdk-pixbuf-2.0' found
No package 'gdk-2.0' found
No package 'gnome-vfs-2.0' found
No package 'libxml-2.0' found

some of those are located in /usr/lib

i want the system to find the packages.

i was thinking maybe: $ pkg-congig --libs-only-L /usr/lib

"This prints the -L/-R part of "--libs". That is, it defines the library search path but doesn't specify which libraries to link with."

please let me if this is ok. i want to install geany editor,
and bluefish. i am going to use them for PHP, Haxe, Flex,
and HTML/CSS. i am excited that linux now has alternatives
that i like for pspad and flashdevelop in windows.

thanks very much,

i got it.
i just needed to add the
pango-devel etc. instead
of just pango in yast list of
software to add.


thanks

i figured it out.
i just needed to select more
packages to install in yast.

thanks
