pkgconfig-0.15.0 tar.gz install help

SuSE_User · 01-21-2004, 07:01 PM

Hey, after I unpacked pkgconfig and ran './configure' (successfully i think), I of course ran 'make'. That also SEEMED to run successfully, however when i ran 'make install', i got this:

mikshaw · 01-21-2004, 07:10 PM

It looks like you didn't make install as root

SuSE_User · 01-21-2004, 07:17 PM

Um...I have no idea what you mean.

mikshaw · 01-21-2004, 07:33 PM

Before typing "make install", type "su", then enter the root password...then type "make install".

The reason for doing this is because applications generally are installed into directories where the user does not have write privel...privle....permission.

Well, your solution worked for that particular tar.gz file I was trying to compile, but when I was trying to I came to the 'make' part of compiling the file libgphoto2-2.1.4-pre1.tar.gz, it gave me this:

I had already done the 'su' thing earlier while compiling the first file I asked about. How do i solve this?

mikshaw · 01-21-2004, 09:14 PM

You don't need to su for configure and make...just for the actual install.

I'm not sure what the problem is for this particular application, though it looks like you might be missing something.
Did you get any errors from configure?

SuSE_User · 01-21-2004, 09:18 PM

Umm well actually, while waiting for your reply, I tried installing another .tar.gz file that depends on pkgconfig and it said that pkgconfig wasn't installed...so i guess the 'su' thing didnt work after all. And when I tried installing that tar.gz file, it required me to put in 'su' (i opened a new console)...so..ahhh, any more solutions? could you PM me your AIM sn or MSN Messenger email so we could talk more quickly?

Regarding your difficulties compiling `libgphoto2': you ran into a bug.

`header_len' is declared illegally in `libgphoto2-2.1.4/camlibs/aox/library.c',
which gcc2.95 chokes on.

You could update to gcc3.x, but since you're new to installing software,
I don't recommend that. An easier solution is to apply the patch found here:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-...2/21/0009.html

I mention this for your benefit, and for Google's benefit, because I couldn't
find this particular problem mentioned anywhere else. Everybody else in
the world must be using gcc3.x except for us. : /

Hmm. I think I'll repeat Mr. van Elst's patch here.

Other questions:

Regarding `su', you should probably pick up an introductory Linux book.
O'Reilly's _Running Linux_ is a very good every-subject-under-one-cover
book. _Learning Red Hat Linux_ is probably good too, if you want something
shorter, and cheap if you can find it used. (I don't know much about SuSE
specifically.)

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runux4/
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/redhat2/index.html

For help with compiling software with `./configure' and `make' and such things,
the best introductory book I've ever seen is _Programming with GNU Software_.
It's a really old book now, but I think it's still a very good overview of
software building on *NIX.

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prognu/index.html

Say, how old is this thread, anyway?
