I am installing anjuta-2.26 on CentOS5.2 from source (I also try rpm but also have a problem). Now I install tons of missing packages, but during ./configure it still reports

----------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for VTE... configure: error: Package requirements (vte >= 0.9.0) were not met:

No package 'vte' found

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

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

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The current VTE i installed is 0.14.x but I don't know why it report such warning! Ok, anyway, I try to upgrade the VTE (installed from source) to 0.20.x, but keeps getting the following error during 'make' (no problem in ./configure)

I also try vte-0.20.1 to vte-0.20.5, same case! I was starting on this since last evening, still got no idea what to do.

from the sourceforge page did you install the dependencies ?
http://projects.gnome.org/anjuta/downloads.shtml

you will need to build all the NEW versions of things that you have installed in a folder that is not in the system path ( or is after the /usr/lib,/usr/bin, ) in the system path
(-- such as /usr/opt --- and MAKE SURE that usr/opt is SECOND in the $PATH , after /usr/bin,/usr/lib,...)
if you try to install newer versions of programs into /usr you WILL FUBAR centOS

have you tried installing the " eclipse " dev enviroment , it is in the epel centOS 5.3 repo
see:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

Thanks. The problem of the vte solved and I installed everything needed shown in http://projects.gnome.org/anjuta/downloads.shtml. And now I can ./configure the anjuta, but during make, it returns
