Hi, I am using Scientific Linux version 2.6.9-67.EL.cernsmp (root@lxcert-i386) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)) #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 16:22:33 CET 2007. Now I want to install rediff bol in it. so i downloaded rediff bol from the site

Code:

          http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/rediffbol-prpl-Download-34762.html

after that i have downloaded libpurple and libpurple developement from

Code:

http://rpm.pidgin.im/rhel/4/i386/

I ihstalled libpurple and libpurple developement successfully. To install rediffbol i firstentr the command
./configure
which creates a makefile.when i enter the command make
the following error message coms out

Code:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rediffbol-prpl/files/
rediffbol-prpl-0.3.1.tar.gz
http://rpm.pidgin.im/rhel/4/i386/ e.g. libpurple-devel-2.6.4-0.el4.i386.rpm
.. Or # yum install pidgin-devel<version>

EDIT : May be a glib issue ? ........Yes, OK with glib2 2.12.3, see EDIT2.
( "rediffbol-prpl" builds OK on any newer Linux.)
EDIT__2_ : Assuming, you have the evolution28-glib2-devel installed:
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/evolution28/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
&& ./configure && make
