gDesklet installation issue in SUSE 10

NikToo · 01-19-2006, 03:48 PM

Have read that gDesklets don't work in SUSE 10, so it might be done for. However, when I ./configure I get the following error:

Quote:

checking for GDESKLETS... configure: error: Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2 .4.0 pyorbit-2 >= 2.0.1 gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.6.0) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

I checked in YAST and my versions are all above those required (2.8.0 -3, 2.0.1-6 and 2.12.0-3, respectively.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know?

Don't bump your own thread unless you have not recieved a reply in 24hours. This gives others te chance to see your post in the 0 replies section. The forum also automatically bumps you thread for you.

Anyway make sure you have python-devel, python-orbit and python-gnome installed before trying to install gdesklets.

Sorry about bumping. Won't happen again.

With regards to gDesklets, I have all the Python packages installed, and at a higher version than required, which is why the error is a bit confusing.

Can you post a bit more of the output from ./configure, probably the last 10 (or more lines). I need to see the section where its looking for dependencies.

Thanks for checking it. Here's the bit from where it starts about Python:

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

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

Well, you do have python devel installed, but gdesklets has a problem with either python-gnome, python-orbit or python-gtk. Try installing python-gnome-extras if you don't already have that installed, but I am not sure if it will help.

Have you had any joy with solving this problem because I have done all of the above and still unable to install this using open suse 10.1
