simple variable problem that makes me head hurts :]

I'm trying to install DVDplayer...

This is what I get

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ ./configure

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking for gawk... gawk

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no

checking for install location... /usr/local

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c

checking whether ln -s works... yes

checking for ranlib... ranlib

checking for gcc... gcc

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether the C compiler works... yes

checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking for suffix of executables...

checking for suffix of object files... o

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed

checking for style of include used by make... GNU

checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3

checking for g++... g++

checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes

checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes

checking dependency style of g++... gcc3

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E

checking for wx-config... /usr/local/bin/wx-config

checking for wxWindows version >= 2.4.2... no (version 2.3.3 is not new enough)

configure: error:

        Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory

        where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by

        'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or

        equivalent variable and wxWidgets is version 2.4.2 or above.

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ [n]whereis[/b] wx-config

wx-config: /usr/bin/wx-config /usr/local/bin/wx-config

also

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ /usr/bin/wx-config --libs

-pthread  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.6 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.6 -lwx_baseu_net-2.6 -lwx_baseu-2.6

and the other one gives me

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ /usr/local/bin/wx-config --libs

-L/usr/local/lib -pthread -lwx_base-2.3

which means I want to use the first one (/usr/bin/wx-config)
done

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/DVDStyler-1.4$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib"

and got the same error!

any tips?

Did you try /usr/bin/wx-config and /usr/local/bin/wx-config with "--version-full" to see exactly what versions are installed?

Code:

zuki@WhiteCastle:~/Desktop/transcode-1.0.2$ /usr/bin/wx-config --version-full

The problem isn't the library path (well, not the primary problem,
anyway), but the path to the executable. You a) edit your ~/.bashrc
to have the /usr/bin bit before the /usr/local one or b) give ./configure
the full path to the version you want to use (for most cases of configure,
the mileage for the one you're using may vary).

Cheers,
Tink

you wouldn't believe what the problem was!!!

wx-config --libs works, so I never assumed wxWindows isn't installed!
and infact it wasn't installed (atleast not in 2.4 version or up)

reinstalled it, and setup passed that stage :]

LOL! That was funny :)
atleast I passed that :)

Thanks everyone
