Hi,

I cannot install the packages which needs to be built locally on the system. I always get this error (Example):


amit@amit-desktop:~/Desktop/Apps$ cd /home/amit/Desktop/Apps/anjuta-2.2.1
amit@amit-desktop:~/Desktop/Apps/anjuta-2.2.1$ ./configure

Pls help. I use Ubuntu 7.04

Hav you tried to install the build-essential package?

And apt-get these too:
gawk
autoconf
automake
bison
flex

Then you should be ready for anything.

I got this as response...

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

amit@amit-desktop:~/Desktop/Apps/anjuta-2.2.1$ /home/amit/Desktop/Apps/anjuta-2.2.1

Forgot something:

apt-get libtool

Not sure if it will help with your problem, but it's something ./configure looks for.

apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0

When it complains about missing libraries you can usually do apt-cache search -n LIBRARY and then pick a package that looks right.

No respite...

My mistake, those were the Debian package names and Ubuntu's are slightly different.

apt-cache search -n glib2.0

Thanks to you all! I managed to install
