configure: error: Package requirements

Sargalus · 03-23-2010, 11:38 PM

checking for LIBWNCK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.13.0 libstartup-notification-1.0 xres) were not met:

Requested 'gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16.0' but version of GTK+ is 2.14.7

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

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

bash-3.1#

I don't understand why I am getting this error when im trying to install libwnck I have all the required packages installed but keep getting this error message. anyone have any ideas on what Im doing wrong?

This error gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16.0' but version of GTK+ is 2.14.7 shows that you need the Gtk+ 2.16.0, you need to install that first.

Sargalus · 03-24-2010, 12:06 AM

aahh so I need to download gtk+2.16 and get that installed first?

off topic question
when I try to install libdesktop-agnostic by running the following command

Code:

./waf configure --prefix=/usr --config-backends=gconf --vfs-backends=gio --desktop-entry-backends=glib

I get the following

i can see from the code above it is searching for gconf-2.0 not gconfig-2.0 , why don't you check this file: /root/libdesktop-agnostic/build/config.log for error logs.

yeah I gconfig-2.0 is a typo this is the exact package I have installed gconf-2.26.2-i486-3as.txz

You need to install updated versions of glib. gmodule, gobject and gconfig.

cool, thanks bro, Im going to work on that now, I would update the whole system to slackware-current, but when I do that, it messes up my whole system and when it boots up, it boots up about half then monitor flashes and then blacks out, no idea why, and I can't get back into it and have to reinstall all over, it's like there's a package in slackware-current that crashes my resolution or something, but glib, gmodule, and all that junk should be in the slackware/l of slackware-current correct?

Sayan Acharjee · 03-24-2010, 12:28 AM

It was my pleasure.

Yes, you should get the updated versions of these packages in current slackware, which is 13, I guess.
P.S. Never tried slackware, but I'm on my way to give it a try

I love it, IMO it's the most stable distro, you just run into the issues Im having, 13 is the latest stable release which doesn't have the updated versions I need, the ones I need I believe are in the slackware-current which have been updated since 13 was released.

Sargalus · 03-24-2010, 10:48 AM

I got all those above packages installed either via packages already made or just from source, the issue is coming from libdesktop-agnostic when Im running the following command.

./waf configure --prefix=/usr --config-backends=gconf --vfs-backends=gio --desktop-entry-backends=glib

but I was a dummy and upgraded everything to slackware-current forgetting that it screws up my display causing me to reinstall so now I get to redo everything.

Ok I just followed your instructions from this post and after I did the src2pkg and rpm2tgz and went to install the new *tgz packages I get the following

Code:

bash-3.1# installpkg gobject-introspection-0.6.9-i486-1.tgz 
Verifying package gobject-introspection-0.6.9-i486-1.tgz.

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Installing package gobject-introspection-0.6.9-i486-1.tgz:
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
WARNING:  Package has not been created with 'makepkg'
Package gobject-introspection-0.6.9-i486-1.tgz installed.

bash-3.1#

is the WARNING: Package has not been created with 'makepkg' something to worry about or can it be ignored?

A warning is not an error, is usually information only.

Reason for for the warning : probably a minor change in the
pkgtool scripts, or in src2pkg, may be an insignificant bug.
I saw no warnings in Slackware 13.
