I am trying to install Anjuta 2.0 in my computer, When I run ./configure, follow error information appeared:

checking for libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.4.0... Package libgnomeprint-2.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeprint-2.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnomeprint-2.2' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


I thought it may be because I didn't install libgnomeprint, then I installed libgnomeprint-2.10.3 in the computer, and try agian, the same error information appeared. Please help, I am just a beginner of linux. Thanks!

distro? method used to install libgnomeprint? did you modify you PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable?

It's CentOs
I logged on as root, and do following things:
./configure
make
make install

to install the libgnomeprint and didn't modify PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
Do you have any idea? Thanks!

You need to install the libgnomeprint development package.

if you did ./configure, make, make install you need to:

make sure you don't already have one installed somewhere else, if you do, it's better to replace that one than to install another one in parallel in a different location. also, since you are installing into /usr/local, you might want to consider looking into a method of creating packages ( rpmbuild or checkinstall) if you care about being able to remove/upgrade these libs later on.

Thanks! I tried, but it still does not work.
I check the dectory /usr/local/lib, I found a libgnomeprint-2.2 there. So maybe it is because the originally intstalled version is too old. How can I get rid of it and use the new one? Thanks!

/usr/local/lib or /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig? just remove the old package if you have an older one installed. you never mentioned what distro you are running, so can't help you there.

It's CentOs.
I use rpm -e remove the old one. and download a libgnomeprint-2.4.2-1.i686.rpm rpm package.
I run rmp -i libgnomeprint-2.4.2-1.i686.rpm
And I can find the program is installed by using rpm -q -a,
but it still does not work when I try to install Anjuta2.0. The same error message.
Any idea? Thanks!

you're running an rpm distro, so the libgnomeprint-2.4.2-xxxx will only solve one of your problems, to compile against it, you need the matching -devel package, get it from the same place you got the other rpm. should be something along the lines of "libgnomeprint-2.4.2-devel-i686.rpm"

Exactly what I'd said in my previous post, but nobody seems to have noticed it.

he installed it from source earlier, in /usr/local.
