Need help on installing gnome main menu 0.9.15
Hi All,
I have been using Redhat workstation 6.3 for my work but recently there was a contracting company change. Now I can't use their version of Redhat anymore so I went and bought one for myself. There was this gnome main menu that my other work had installed and when I try to isntall it I get these errors. checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes checking for GLIB - version >= 2.16.0... yes (version 2.22.5) checking for APPLICATION_BROWSER... configure: error: Package requirements ( glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gio-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gobject-2.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.14 gdk-2.0 libslab >= 2.29.0 gnome-desktop-2.0 unique-1.0 ) were not met: No package 'gtk+-2.0' found No package 'gdk-2.0' found No package 'libslab' found No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found No package 'unique-1.0' 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 APPLICATION_BROWSER_CFLAGS and APPLICATION_BROWSER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I tried to update lib's and gdk's but I still get the same errors. Anyone can share what I can do here? |
Anyone can help?
Can anyone help me on this?

are you building Gnome from source???
if so ,do not all the gnome tools and menus ARE in the RHN repo you said you bought a rhel6 license so have you used the red hat support you paid for as to the "menu" are you talking about the DEFAULT one at the top left tool bar " Applications - Places - System" if it is missing just "r-click" on the tool bar and select it from the add on list |
Thank you for the quick reply
I bought a self support license, I tried contacting them for help but they tell me that I have self support and they do not offer any help. I am going to try pay extra to get full support in future.
The version of Redhat I was using at my prior work was openclient Redhat ver 6.3 which this ver had a gnome menue 0.9.15 installed already. When I add from panel I had an extra main menu. I searched online and found the .tar , extracted the tar and tried to install it, that's where I am getting these erros. |
DEFAULT one at the top left tool bar
That one is there by default, openclient version had another one build in, version says gnome main menu 0.9.15

there are TWO menus for gnome2
( this is my ScientificLinux 6.2 install using MY custom theme but...) see the screen shot ( the two "pac-man" icons) http://imgbox.com/adliujmX also the "self support" will give you access to the knowledge base see the output for yum Code:

Yes, I have been searching the KB at Redhat, I just can't understand why it won't install. I installed so many lib's and gtk's etc....
This is the way it looks like on the openclient version of redhat, this is what I am trying to install on mine. I attached the screenshots. |
you are building from source part of the operating system
replacing something that there with a different version that is never a good idea !!! but if you insist on building from the error Quote:
start with the REQUIRED development tools and libraries and for Gnome the GNOME development tools -- this IS A LOT of programs and prerequisites to install FIRST and even then installing some random gnome package from some unknown location and might not be compatible might KILL your install -- you have been WARNED --- Code:
su - if not do a yum search for the missing package and it's -devel it is NOT recommended that you build from source part of the gnome desktop search yum !!!!! Code:
yum search gnome and "gnome-menus" IS IN THERE Code:
su - " already installed - nothing to do " |
Cool thx. I can always format and reinstall original OS. This will be a good practice for me to learn more about linux. I will give this a shot.

Alternately, use Centos which is a free rebuild (includes updates, but no support though), unless you really want to pay for RHEL.
