pygtk-2.0 install problem??

I'm trying to install gDesklets for GNOME on Slackware 9.1, I have checked the dependencies for it, and it requires:

- Python 2.x or higher (2.3 recommended)
- libgtop2
- GConf
- gnome-python 1.99.17 or higher (2.0.0 recommended)

GConf and libgtop2 I have, Python 2.3 is now installed, but gnome-python 2.0 requires a package called pygtk-2.0

I have pygtk-2.0 but on ./configure it produces this:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkgl-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Now I discovered that gtkgl-2.0 is in the package GTKGLArea-1.99, so I tried that and got this during the "make" :

So now I don't know where else to take it? I haven't even begun to install gnome-python yet, let alone gDesklets!

Thanks,

Your error lies in the setup of GL on your computer.

libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive

That's your problem. Try setting GL up (your graphics card if it's nvidia will set things up for you, just reinstall the driver)

I only installed the latest driver 2 hours before I tried, and Slackware was only installed from scratch yesterday - NVIDIA version 1.0-5328, on an Nvidia GeForce4 MX440.

This is the second time I have had this problem, I never solved it the first time because Partition Magic crashed halfway through resizing my drive and b0rked everything, making me reinstall from scratch... :cry:

Is there anyway to set up GL without reinstalling the drivers, as I've only just done it? Or is there anything else I could investigate? :scratch:

Thanks

libGL.la not libtool archive

I had a very similar problem tying to compile koffice. Google search turned up "Nvidia Installer HOWTO for SuSE Linux users" (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/...nstaller-HOWTO) . I'm running Red Hat, so didn't think it could apply. After pulling my hair out a bit, I checked it out. Search on "libGL.la" to find:

X. Known issues with release 1.0-5328
-------------------------------------
People report that using libtool with release 1.0-5328 fails with:

"libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive"

nvidia comments on this:

--
This is a problem with the libGL.la generated by the
nvidia-installer. Please edit /usr/lib/libGL.la, and replace the line:

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5

with

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool)

libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files.

This will be fixed in the next driver release. I apologize for the
inconvenience.

It fixed it for me, I hope it works for you!

:jawa: You are the master!

I'd pretty much given up on this thread, but I'll try that as soon as I get home and let you know my results!

:D
