Installation Error on gDesklets [compiler]
I downloaded gDesklets from the website [.gz]
on konsole when i hit ./configure i get this: ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables i have gcc installed, i tried with the one mandrake disks had, and the latest one i found on the web ... |
Have you tried besides the gdesklets to install any other package?
Is gcc working correctly there? |
dont think so ...
supposedly it should cuz i installed it from the cd
but ive been noticing that .gz installations , some dont quite install ... yet again, i hav gcc, gcc+, etc i ALso tried to get it thru urpmi, and i got "unsatisfied gnome-python-config <-- i have gnome-python-config2 im soo desperate for gdeklets! |
I managed to install gdesklets two days ago and it also took me a couple of days to make it work, so i can understand what you're facing. It's a nice app but it can drive you crazy till it's ready...
My guess is you're running 'make' as a standard user. Have you tried to run it as root? I'm asking you cause root's $PATH variable includes more directories and maybe some of them which contain python/perl libs etc, may not be included in your user's $PATH and so you're facing this.. I had this kind of trouble when i had a fresh installation of FC2. Another thing you should do is to make sure that you install all the devel packages you have on your cd, cause most of them are needed when you try to compile apps... |
i am logged on root
i do try it on root [su[ and its still the same ...
u talk about devel packages, if id want 2 install them now, how would i know wich onez i hav to install??? |
Most of the devel packages are useful but what you really gonna need depends on the apps you're willing to install. For example, gdesklets needs python for some themes, so it would be a good idea to install all the relevant python packages. If you have a broadband connection and some kind of auto-install tool like yum (in FC2) then the job would be quite easy.
As for the prob, could you check if there's any config.log file inside the folder you're trying to run 'make'? It should have been created after running 'make'. Pls copy/paste the contents in your reply... |
