Gnomad is driving me mad
 

I'm trying to install Gnomad and have got this far

I type ./configure and everything looks like its kinda working then it says

"No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
No package 'libnjb' found
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GN_CFLAGS
and GN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details."

What on earth am i meant to do with this?

Looks like you are missing some of the development packages.
But why are you installing from source?
Why don't you just use your distro's package manager to install gnomad?
Which version (distribution) of linux are you running?

"Old" Ubuntu : gnomad2. No gnomad in 10.04 and 10.10, AFAIK.
'package glib-2.0' means /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc ( "package config file".)

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libnjb-dev

.. will provide all four files, and more : All required for building gnomad.

..

We don't know what distro the OP is using.

But gnomad V 2.9.4-1 is in the ubuntu 10.04 ("Universe") repository.

ok so I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (I think anyhow)

I've tried doing the

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libnjb-dev

and i think thats helped (although i don't know what i've done i'm kinda curious to know). and now when i go to configure gnomad this is my new error message

and this is my new error message

configure: error: *** id3tag.h C header is needed (missing -dev package?) ***\n*** You might have erroneously installed id3lib instead of libid3tag ****\nThis distinction is very delicate, so PLEASE pay attention! ***

the other thing i've tried doing is installing Banshee and a few other things like that but none of them recognise my zen any ideas?

→ → sudo apt-cache search id3tag

sudo apt-get install libid3tag0-dev

( You can also use the (2) Search in Synaptic (Ubuntu Softwarecenter)
to find missing package names.

And @tredegar is right (post #4) : gnomad2 is available, also in 10.10.

So why not start with : sudo apt-get install gnomad2
( You may have to add "Canonical-partners" etc. in
Synaptic > Settings > Archives > Other Software.)
EDIT : Synaptic says : libmtp7 is not installable, when gnomad2 is marked for install.
EDIT EDIT http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libmtp7
sudo dpkg -i libmtp7* : And you can install / use gnomad2.
..

Oh by god so today i've done nothing different but WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

i can move files onto my zen again at last
