Hi. I need help installing gtk+-2.2.0.tar.gz i am using Mandrake 9.1 and when i typed ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk my output screen was like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1... Package atk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `atk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'atk' found

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

if anybody can help me .. i am sort of a noob to all this... i get some concepts but i need step by step instructions cause i got lost in all this so easily... i also downloaded glib-2.2.0.tar.gz, atk-1.2.0.tar.gz, pango-1.2.1.tar.gz and pkconfig something... and for all of the i untarred it and did a ./configure then a make and a make install.. not sure wat i was doing.. need feedback on wat to do with those.. if i should install them again a different way, where to install them.. and the error message above.

Thank you.

Read below, sorry

Install atk and reinstall gtk. See what happens.
Don't mix glib with glibc; could leave your system non working.

Check the version you have installed of atk/glib/pango against suggested values (glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1)
although I don't think it says is uncomfortable with glib or pango: seems like is only checking fot them and only fails to find atk.

well im kind of having the same problem when installing gtk.. when i goto install gtk it says:
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

ive installed glib over and over... from 2.2.2 to 2.2.0 and back agian when i goto install atk.. get the same error about glib... and glib is installed... if i try to check with pkg-config it says the same though but:
[user@ipx-x-x-x temp]$ whereis glib-2.0.pc
glib-2.0: /usr/local/lib/glib-2.0
-
i looked all over i cant figure out what im doing rong.. looked over the INSTALL 2-3 times

you need to install glib-devel-2.0 (or whatever it's actually called) this will contain the pkgconfig file.

ok... i installed glib-devel now i dont get that error when i do ./configure but now when i goto install atk i get this:

gcc: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libatk-1.0.la] Error 1

so to make sure i had them and they were in the correct dir i did this:

[root@ipx-x-x x atk-1.2.4]# whereis libgobject-2.0.so
libgobject-2.0: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.a /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la

so i have it... and it is in /usr/lib
why wont the compiler see it?!?!

[edit]
as root i tryed to run cat on /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
and it said i do not have it... im really getting agrivated with this
is this not a file made from glib? or what is it

im afraid to reboot i think i might have borked my system up
[/edit]

i reinstalled everything still no luck... same ol errors... i cannot find a package that installs llibgobject-2.0.so anywere.. execpt for stuff like debian binary packages.. ive found pre-compiled so files but i really dont want to use something that i didnt compile and also these were compiled on a debian system
