wxGTK/GTK installation


Hi all,

I tried to install wxGTK-2.4.2. The first step was:

./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode

but it returned an error:

-----[ error msg starts ]----
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
Please check that gtk-config is in path, the directory
where GTK+ libraries are installed (returned by
'gtk-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and GTK+ is version 1.2.3 or above.
-----[ error msg ends ]----


What I did to try to resolve this problem (don't laugh, I am an extreme newbie):

[1]

gtk-config --libs

This returns:

-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm

then I added :

/usr/local/lib

and

/usr/X11R6/lib

to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH but no good.

[2]

Trying to install GTK+:

Download gtk+2.0-2.2.4-9mdk.i586.rpm and "rpm -i" it.

It said:

"package gtk+2.0-2.2.4-9mdk is already installed"

What's wrong and what can I do to solve this?

BTW, I'm using Mandrake 10.0 and $PATH =
.:/home/rpan/bin:/home/rpan/EMAN/bin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin:/usr/local/bin
:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local:/home/rpan/pydb
:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0
:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines:/usr/local/include/gtk-1.2:/usr/lib/gtk

and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
/home/rpan/EMAN/lib:/usr/lib/qt3/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib


Thx in advance.

You need to install 'libgtk+2.0-devel' package (or something with a very similar name, with 'gtk+' and 'devel'). The thing is that gtk+ package is the right one when you just run programs using it. If you want to compile a program using it, you need some extra files which are in the corresponding devel package. If that's the first program you're compiling from source, you may need to install more devels.
