SuSE Linux problem

I have already emailed the SuSE tech support about this problem. But maybe you guys can get a answer faster then them. When i try to ./configure a program such as gtk-gnutella i get this output:

you've probably not got gtk-devel installed, that's where the script comes from. if you have got gtk-config you can give the exact locataion in ./configure.

some distros don't install devel packages straight away.

next time something really easy to fix like this happnes. go to rpmfind.net, search for the missing file, find out where it's from and install the relevant package.

way to waste SuSe's time, just learn how to manage your system.

sorry, i thought it would work right away since i choose to install EVERYTHING in the setup.

./configure with the pointer to the gtk doesnt work. Niether are there source RPM's available for suse linux.
So i guess it is NECESSARY to call em' up...

of course it's not necessary. that rpm will do fine, and you can always install from source.

Thank you!

Its weird how gtk-gnutella worked but xchat gives me this output towards the end

*** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.9, but GLIB (1.2.10)
*** was found! If glib-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLIB. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG
*** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file config.cach
e

And yes, i did install the new glib and gtk. I tried to just delete the GLIB and GTK packages that came with SuSE but a dialog came up saying that when i uninstall them no program including kde applications will work so i said hell no.

Also there is a executable file in /usr/local/bin that if run, gives me a bunch of options, but when i run it with --version it tells me i have 1.2.9 which is a good thing i guess. But is it safe to delete the rpm package that came with SuSE if this SEEMS to work?

there's a bug somewhere in the gnome-gtk-config scripts - don't ask me where. i've run across this problem many, many times... and have yet to find any real solution. the only solution i've ever found is just to edit the configure scripts by hand. i wouldn't recommend that, but if you know anything about shell-scripting, it's not THAT bad...

therion12 · 01-21-2002, 09:03 AM

So your saying my distribution is GARBAGE basically unless i learn how to edit these scripts?
