I am hoping someone could help me I am tryign to configure a program called liar liar. And when I run the ./configure command I get the following error message configure: error: Library requirements (gtkmm-2.0 gthread-2.0 gstreamer-0.6) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
root@darkstar:~/Desktop/liarliar/liarliar-0.5.2# I am runining slackware 9.1, how can I go thruough with what thsi messsage is telling me? I would appreciate the help.

Did you install Gnome and its libraries? If you didn't
that's your problem ;)

gtkmm is the C++ bindings, and glibthread belongs to
glibc. Glibc and gstreamer are both gnome libraries.

I installed gnome and it's libraries, and I am still having the same problem how could I verify that gnome is actually installed it is not showing up in xwmconfig?

Well, you need the development versions. I'm on Fedora 2, and I did "apt-get install gtkmm2-devel" and "apt-get install gstreamer-devel." GStreamer 0.8.x was installed by this command though, and liarliar needs 0.6.0 so I download the source: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src...r-0.6.0.tar.gz compiled and installed it. My pkg-config is set to use /usr/lib/pkgconfig and the install of gstreamer 0.6.0 put the pkgconfig files into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig so I copied "gstreamer-0.6.pc" and "gstreamer-control-06.pc" into /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

So, in /usr/lib/pkgconfig I have:
gstreamer-0.6.pc
gtkmm-2.0.pc
gthread-2.0.pc

On Slackware, I don't know where pkgconfig is setup. You will need to find that location and make sure it has all of the above files

Now that I have liarliar compiled and installed, though, it doesn't work. Reading through the docs, it says it only accepts mp3 files or mic input, I can't get either to work. Nothing happens when I import an mp3. According to the screenshots on the developers site, it displays the waveform of the file you import. I just get a blank screen.

And even if I could import a file, I am not to sure how well the program could work. The docs say that it analyzes frequencies in the 6 - 12 Hz range. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any consumer mics that can record freqeuncies that low. Most mics I've looked at stop at about 50Hz and I've seen a few listed down to 20Hz.

I now have salckware 10.0 installed and I able to login to gnome aso I know that it is installed. I have liarliar on a cdrom . Could anyone help me with the exact coding to get liarliar installed? Also can I run the tar zxvf and ./configure. and make and make install from midnight commander when I go to menu >do something and than I hit that line with my mouse and than I can enter a command, I have not gotten any error messages thsi way but I am not sure the program is properly installed, but this would be tghe easiest way to make sure I am in that directory.

Now in my usr /lib/pkconfig I have gstreamer 0.6pc, but I am missing
gtkm-2.0 pc, and gthread-2.0pc, coudl anyone please help me get these files?,
