im using slackware 10, and when i run ./configure for gnomad2, i get this error:

root@HAL:/home/dave/programs/gnomad2-2.5.0# ./configure

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `id3tag.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'id3tag' found

configure: error: Library requirements ( glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 libnjb id3tag) 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 looked at my installed packages, and i see that all those packages it says is missing are actually installed except gthread-2.0 and id3tag, so i went out and i couldnt find gthread-2.0, but i downloaded id3lib and id3tag. still get that same error. is there a way to skip the configure errors so i can go ahead and run make and make install?


---edit---
i installed the rpm, using rpm -i --nodeps because if a LOT of missing dependencies. gnomad runs, but it cant detect any Jukebox on the usb device, so im thinking its "libusb", but wheni go to download the latest usb library, it takes me to the kernel.org website.

is this already a forgotten thread?

Also pay special attention to the fact that we switched ID3 tag reader library from id3lib to libid3tag which is better for us. If you compile id3tag from source, then add *this file* into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (create that directory if it doesn't exist!) most packages of libid3tag will include this file by default.

put http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/id3tag.pc into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ then configure will run

you can't skip configure because it creates the makefiles needed for your system

did that, and it still doesnt work.

i downloaded the file you told me to, and moved it (as root) to the /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig directory. there are only 2 files there now, the one you just told me to download and a libnjb file.

is gnomad even stil being maintained? no cvs is out, and i havent seen anu updates in about a year.

new version just released, i got it to work.

i had to get the CVS of libnjb and the fedora core 3 RPM of gnomad2. the source, again wouldnt compile because of the same errors as above, so what i did was just used "rpm -i --nodeps" to install gnomad2 (yes, RPM on slackware 10)

and it worked. dont run as root, you might get errors and the app will crash, run as a normal user.
