It goes through the configure, make, and make install fine. However, whenever I try to install pango-1.2.0, it says I don't have glib! What's the deal here?
I'm using Mandrake 9.1. I'm somewhat new to Linux (at least what Linux has become today; I started out with Redhat 6, got bored, and later started using FreeBSD on an old laptop for fun).
Read man ldconfig and make sure your /etc/ld.so.conf is set up correct. If still no joy then you can run "./configure --help" in the top level of the pango source, there may be an option to state explicitly where glib is.
Yeah, my /etc/ld.so.conf is set up correctly. No option to state where glib is (however it is in /usr/local/lib). I added a line in my ld.so.conf, "/usr/local/lib/glib-2.2.1", the location of the glib install, too. Still no go. I need to get pango and atk-1.2.0 to install the latest GTK+ for a slew of programs. Is there any hope of getting around this perhaps?
Have run
make distclean
in pango directory? If you ran it previously w/o glib installed the configuration is stored in config.cache file to clean it up most developers provide make distclean target, or in the worst case scenario you should unpack pango tarball again, and as far as /etc/ld.so.conf goes make sure /usr/local/lib is there if you are positive glib libs are in /usr/local/lib directory and run ldconfig again to make the system aware of new shared libs. Good luck.
It seems, in the grand scheme of things, I can't get ANYTHING installed through compiling the source. I think that may be the problem, at least...
I have GTK+ (1.2 I think), but nothing seems to see it in compiling. The only thing I have managed to compile and install is WINE, but it doesn't really work all that well :/
Feh, I think I'm just overdramatizing the situation.
I have glib 2.0.0 installed, should I try and remove that somehow before I try to install the latest? I never had a problem like this with FreeBSD.
If it comes in the Mandrake RPM form I can usually get it installed - I have installed Ayttm through RPMs (even though I couldn't compile it and install with the source), as well as some other stuff.
I'll do a hunt for an RPM for glib and see if that works. If I need to, I can re-install - it won't be that huge of an issue since I haven't done that much serious configuration yet.
If you want to compile anything, you need the development files of quite a few libraires, like glib, gtk, ...
Search for glib-dev or something like that on you cd's
