Gnome 2.0 install insanity! help!
I'm trying to install gnome 2.0 from source, and having trouble compiling. After many attempts,changing the prefix, paths, etc, even copying my pkgconfig directory to /usr/bin/, I'm at wit's end. I have all the glib 2 libs and devel libs, pkgconfig, - in short, everything needed to compile innstalled, but always get the same error. I've searched the newsgroups, and tried everything suggested there. Obviously, it's not finding the glibc libs, but I don't know what else to do. Any ideas out there? Below is my last attempt at the first gnome directory (atk-1.0.2), with the last prefix I tried (among many)- it's always the same error. (here's my etc/ld.so.conf file- I added the last line, as that's where pkgconfig is in Mandrake 8.2- should I add another line with a different path?) Also, what's the deal with running /sbin/ldconfig? Do I have to do this? I just changed the line as root, as I've done in other /etc/ files before. Does the ldconfig update other paths, and that's the reason some say to do it?

You need glibc2. Have you installed it? If the answer is 'yes' it's probably in /usr/local/lib (that's where glibc compiled from source is installed by default). Add this directory to your /etc/ld.so.conf
|
In Mandrake 8.2, it's in /usr/lib/glib, and I also have glib-2.0. I'll put those paths in etc/ld.so.config- correct? All that's in those directories in an include directory, with a glibconfig.h file. Is that what I'm lookig for? Also, do I need to run ldconfig, or reboot? I understand that ldconfig is supposed to run at boot to update the links. Sorry to be so detailed, but I'm pretty new at all this.
Thanks, wrc1944 |
You're right. Run ldconfig manually and it should be OK.
|
I added them, rebooted, and also ran ldconfig as root. Same error occurs- it can't seem to find glib. I tried compiling a few other progs, and everything works fine. I'm at a loss to explain this one. Doesn't it have to be that a PATH is not linked properly? I know I have all the required libs- 2.2.4, and devel,- and a bunch of other stuff
|
You need a path gor glibc2 BEFORE path to older glibc (it looks you have 2 or more versions). WHen configure finds one version, it stops searching for more. If the glibc if finds is older than 2.0, you've got an error...
|
Here's my /etc/ld.so.conf file. In /usr/lib/ I have glib, glib-2.0, and gcc-lib. gcc-lib has i586-mandrake-linux-gnu, with 2.96, 3.04, and egs-2.91.66, which I assume are the compilers.
Do I need paths to these, and if I wanted to use one or another compiler for specific programs, how do I go about that? /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt2/lib /usr/lib/qt3/lib /opt/kde3/lib/ /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/lib/glib /usr/lib/glib-2.0 /usr/local/lib |
The glib library main file is libglib.so .Usually it's just a symlink. The full name: /usr/lib/libglib.so .I suppose you have it. Note down where is it pointing and change it to poing to libglib.so.* from your new glib. It should work.
|
I've got libglib.so in /usr/lib, and it's a symlink, but after that I'm lost. How do I find out where it's pointing. If I open it, it's unreadable- just many squares and symbols- so I can't edit it to point to the new glib, even if I knew what that really meant. I assume you mean glib-2.0, but I'm not sure. I guess I need more details, and exact instructions, as apparently I don't know what I'm doing.
OK- I just right clicked-properties, and found out it points to libglib1-2.so.0.0.10. Now questions arise: 1. If I change it, what happens when something needs the old link? 2. How do I change it? 3. Does libglib.so* mean ALL such files (* being a wild card?)? 4. What is my new glib? glib-2.0? 5. Aren't there appropriate paths I can add to /etc/ld.so.conf, or is changing the symlink supposed to do the same thing? 6. Aren't all these libraries in the gcc folder? As you can see, I really don't know what to do. BTW, I added the following 4 paths to my /etc/ld.so.conf, as recommended by somebody else in the forums. Was that unwise? /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/lib/glib /usr/lib/glib-2.0 /usr/local/lib Or should I add the path /usr/lib/libglib.so* to the /etc/ld.so.conf, and run ldconf as root? |
Do you mean I should put the /usr/lib/glib-2.0 line ahead of the /usr/lib/glib line, and then it will find version 2.0 first? It can't be that simple, or can it?
|
I think that symlink is better idea. By libglib.so* I mean one file, something like libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10 There's a symlink created pointing it to libglib.so. Change the symlink to point to your new libglib.
|
So I don't need the old libglib? If I change the symlink won't that disable the old glib?
I still don't know what the "new libglib" is, or what you mean by "something like" libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10". Do I create the symlink by drag/drop, or must I use a command line? Your statement "There's a symlink created pointing it to libglib.so." confuses me. I thought libglib.so WAS a symlink. I'm totally confused as to what you mean. I'm sure it's very simple, but I need a list in detail of what to do (like 1.,2.,3.,4.etc), and exactly how to do it.Only question 3. (libglib.so* being one file) from my previous post is answered, and I'm completely unclear as to the answers to my other questions. wrc1944 |

Mara,
Thanks for the info. I'll have to digest it. I tried putting the glib-2.0 line before the glib line in /etc/ld.so.conf, and trying a gnome 2.0 package compile after rebooting. Same error (see my ./config output below). Also, in the config log of that attempt, it refers to the 2.96 compiler. Doesn't gnome 2.0 require 3.04? I have 3.0.4 also, so maybe I should use it for the compile? How would I go about making that happen? I assume there is a file in the untarred file directory that directs ./configure to a specific (or default compiler) Or, am I totally off-base with that theory?

No, it haven't found the new glibc... ry the method with symlink.
Compiler version does not matter there. The only thing is that 2.96 has some bugs and I had to upgrade it to compile KDE, but this won't cause an error during 'configure' stage. |
