./configure error (can't find libraries)

nodnarb · 02-08-2006, 12:22 AM

Hi,

I been trying to install several different programs since installing mandrake 10.1 but often get errors during the "./configure" step saying it cant find a certain library. But when I go to install the rpm, I'm told everything is installed.

Ex. When I tried to install GNUnet I got everything would on fine until a few second it says "configure: error: GNUnet requires the GNU MP library (libgmp)"

Anybody have any suggestions on how do I go about fixing this problem?

the problem it seems is that the configure script is trying to match the exact version of certain libraries.

ANy if u can post the error msg it would be helpful

Try to install them from the online reposotries using the console. Fedora and Redhat for example use the yum repos and they also install all the dependencied automatically. i am not sure but there has to be one for Mdk 10.1 too ( i just installed it myself and am still looking :-S)
