I'm trying to compile glibmm-2.13.3 from sources, and the configure script is able to run successfully...

for make, it is giving me an error...

-------------------------
looks to me like the include path is not correct... the pkg-config utility gives me a weird response... as follows...

pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
-I$(top_builddir)//usr/lib64/pkgconfig -I$(top_builddir)//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/. -I$(top_builddir)//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/./glib
-----------------------------

I checked in the glib-2.0.pc file, the contents are valid and points to correct locations... but in glib-2.0-uninstalled.pc (I dont why u need this file?) the contents are ...
------------
glib_genmarshal=${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/gobject/glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/gobject/gobject-query
glib_mkenums=${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/./gobject/glib-mkenums

Name: GLib Uninstalled
Description: C Utility Library, Not Installed
Version: 2.12.9
Libs: ${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/glib/libglib-2.0.la
Cflags: -I${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir} -I${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/. -I${pc_top_builddir}/${pcfiledir}/./glib

--------------------
any help is greatly appreciated...

Hya

Install libglib2.0-dev

Happy Penguins!

I couldnt find any libglib2.0-dev packages for redhat EL... there was no such package on gnome.org

any links to download ??.. source or rpm anything will work...

Hya,

okey, Now I know that you are using RedHat. Package name may be different.

I do not know how to find in RedHat, so look for the file "glib-object.h".

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/6/idpl/3580167 is one of them, but I am not sure if any conflict with your other packages.

Cheers

Happy Penguins!
