Cannot find path for library

Baran · 09-01-2003, 10:23 AM

I have the same problem when trying to install from source. When I try to configure by

./configure

it starts the process but it terminates with error something like this...

could not find library for X includes....

and in some other programs it gives such an error

glibc2.0> is required ...

although I have the glibc2.1.. for example

Help me if you can

What is your distribution and release version? It sounds as if you may have not installed the developmental packages for whatever you are trying to install.

# What is the running kernel and compiler installed
cat /proc/version

I am sorry, I know I have to be more specific, but I cannot note down the error message for some reason, here is what I know about my system:

Red Hat 9.0
Linux Kernel 2.4.20
GCC 3.2.1
GNU libc 2.3.2

To copy/paste: Hold left click down and drag curser across desired text (the error messages in the x terminal you gave the command), switch to your browser, and middle click will paste it in the reply box.

Post the error message and perhaps we can help.

thanks I got the message, it is as follows

checking for char... yes
checking size of char... 1
checking for dlopen in -ldl... (cached) yes
checking for shl_unload in -ldld... no
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

one other type of error I encounter is like this

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0... 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

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
