gtk-config problem

Sammael · 08-09-2006, 04:36 PM

i have problem compiling some programs, which needs gtk-config.

i am running suse 10.1 and have installed gtk2-devel 2.8.10-36, but when i compile some appz some of them complain about missing gtk-config. i searched for it, but it is non-existent

how can i solve this?

thanks

I think that gtk-config is part of the old gtk+-1.x and it doesn't exist in gtk+-2.x. So you have to install also that version of gtk, which is used by many apps (xmms to name one)

when i try to install it i get this:

Transaction failed: Transaction failed: Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Public.ZenException: Package gtk-1.2.10-907 is already installed.

Server stack trace:

in <0x0003b> Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packaging.Transaction:Start ()
in <0x00010> Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Packag

...and i can't find corresponding devel package. i was at gtk website but i can't work out what to download, can you please write me which package(s) do i need?

thx

If you're using Suse you should let yast install the packages, so it can resolve any dependancies. As for the missing gtk-config in my Suse 9.2 it's part of the gtk-devel. You can d/l it from here if cannot find it with yast.

thanks a lot, it worked even through ZEN

i couldn't find it in yast, and on install dvd i found only gtk package not devel package.

now everything is fine, thanks again
