Installing GTK problems w/ PNG loader -- please help
 

-- Sorry I really am a newbie! (gotta give me a break I've been working at MSFT for the past few years b4 tansfering to an OpenSource Co, trying to convert.)

Trying to ./configure GTK+ 2.6.0, but this error occurs.

checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no
configure: WARNING: *** PNG loader will not be built (PNG library not found) ***configure: WARNING: *** PNG loader will not be built (PNG header file not found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for PNG loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libpng to configure but many programs using GTK+ will
*** not work properly. The PNG loader is also needed if you are compiling
*** from CVS.

But I know that I already have libpng 1.2.5 and zlib installed. YaST shows me the installation, but not the directory.

Two Problems:

1. Don't know how to point GTK+ ./configure to libpng

2. Don't know libpng files to point to. (maybe I don't have the whole library?)

After installing Glib - Pango - Atk I thought I could do anything, this is killing me! Please help! Thanks in advance!

Do a:

It will list an option somewhere to GTK+ to libpng. You should point it to the actual directory where libpng is installed.

P.S. WHy not install GTK+ using YaST?
