I am getting error messages when installing gnome icq/icu on mandrake 8.1.

Here are the problems I am having.

I downloaded the gnomeicu file as an rpm. I did the rpm -ivh <filename> and it put the tar file over in \usr\src. I then untarred the file and it created several directories. Then, according to the readme, I am supposed to do a ./configure which I did, and got back a few error messages like:

[root@gtp1 gnomeicu-0.96.1]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by
gnome-libs install
[root@gtp1 gnomeicu-0.96.1]# make
bash: make: command not found

What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? I was logged in as slag, but had su'd to root to do the install.

it looks like you don't have some of the gnome development packages installed. gconf and gnome-libs, i think. you can get them at gnome.org.
