Hi, I'm looking for a mandrake 10.X rpm for giFT-gnutella 10.0 network plugin. The PLF and rpm.pbone only have the 9.x but the updated plug-in has been out forever so what gives? Anyone for making the new RPM or know where to find it? I tried compiling from the source but it gives me a preprocesser error so somethings buggy in the code (at least for mandrake) perhaps this is the reason for there being no RPM?

it's such a small little package, why not just install it from source?

hmmph.... you didnt read my post, I said I tried but it didnt work... I'm sure it does for other distros, but not mandrake 10.x

erm.. yeah.... sorry... what errors are you getting then?

ok I run ./configure spits out the usual, untill this:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

So I check the config.log for more details, I got this... (skipped to the error in the log):

I am relativly new to linux but should cc1plus be cplusplus if thats what the config is complaining about?

Maybe you don't have a c++ compiler installed, make sure you have g++ (or on some distros gcc-g++) installed. Take a look at this thread as well.

wow... you would think a c++ compiler would come standard in the distro... but no. Thanks for the help!

Not really, most distros don't even install development tools unless you select this option during the installation.

Man this thing is tempermental, ok installed gcc-c++ no problem, now the dang thing complains about this:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for libgift >= 0.11.4 libgift < 0.12.0... Package libgift was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgift.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgift' found

ok I know what the problem is my libgift is called libgift0 and not libgift so my only question now is how to I change the "PKG_CONFIG_PATH"?

Ok nevermind I had "libgift0" but needed the whole libgift0-devel it works fine now. What a pain!!!
