Help! Rh 8.0
 

Hello, i just installed redhat 8.0 and compiling no longer works on ANYTHING, im trying to install hxd the hotline client currently, and no matter what i try i always get errors, this happens for ANYTHING i try to compile uisng ./configure, make and make install, rpms work just fine but tar.gzs wont work at all. please help a frustrated n00b?

Could you post some error messages? Does gcc -v give you anything?

about.c:217: `widget' undeclared (first use in this function)
about.c:218: warning: implicit declaration of function `gtk_widget_unref'
make[1]: *** [about.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tyler/gtkhx-0.9.3/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

this is the error i get when i make install for gtkhx.. and i get basically the same error only with different functions for EVERY tar.gz file i try to build (after extraction of course :)

anyone able to help me?

I think you are missing part of GTK (graphical development), maybe the devel or something. Check the website where you got it and it should tell you what packages/libraries are required. If you don't have one, you need to get that and install that first. I bet the other compiles are running into the same thing, you're missing libraries that you'll need to install first.

ok i installed EVERYTHING off the rh8 cd now my error changed. make went through fine, but make install did not.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tyler/gtkhx-0.9.3/intl'

are you logged in as root


it looks like you are in /home/tyler which usually means you are logged in as tyler

tyler usually does not have permission to write to /usr/local/bin

drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 4096 Dec 8 11:04 bin/

ive typed su to login as root. and someone suggested i urun up2date to install updates but when i run that i get the following error:

when using su it is best to use
