trying to install Gnome 2.6
Hi
it requires glib >= 2.0.0 and i just upgraded it to 2.4.0, which is reflected in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc However when i try to install other required packages like atk, it complains about version of glib being lower than 2.0.0. What am I to do? Thanks Alex |
...of course maybe i did not compile GLIB correctly, how do i find out?
I simply launched: ./configure make make install and there were no errors Thanks Alex |
I recommend trying Garnome. It installs to a directory tree of its own and will not interfere with other Gnome installations. If you want to remove it, simply delete the directory and remove the entry X session entry and you're done!
It defaults to installing to ~/garnome but I prefer putting it in /usr/local/garnome (or /opt/garnome) to make it accessible by all users. If you add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry and related ones like the PATH, as described on the homepage, to your other X session types you can benefit from the Garnome libraries and apps no matter if you run Garnome or not. I usually use XFCE4 or Fluxbox but I like having up-to-date libraries to build apps against and Garnome is ideal for that too. The current version of Garnome provides Gnome 2.5.92, which is a developer's preview of Gnome 2.6. A "true" 2.6 release from Garnome is expected very soon. Håkan |
Thanks for the reply
I was able to solve my problem thanks to Linux community! for the sake of letting know to others how to deal with the problem: here are the instructions i found: "change to etc edit ld.so.conf add line /usr/local/lib before /usr/lib" in my ld.so.conf there were no /usr/lib neither /usr/local/lib so i added those lines Later |
