I'm trying to compile the TRAYDOC aMSN plugin.
It requires IMLIB. I've it, in a new version, but...

checking for imlib-config... /usr/bin/imlib-config
checking for IMLIB - version >= 1.8.2... no
*** Could not run IMLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means IMLIB was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved IMLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the imlib-config script: /usr/bin/imlib-config

imlib.h is in /usr/include
imlib-config.h is in /usr/bin

I have imlib and imlib2 installed.

When I ask ./configure to ignore this test, "make" doesn't work, after.

All the other programs are working well, including aMSN.

What shall I do?

imlib-config.h?? you should have a file called imlib-config in /usr/bin. also, post more info as what you have posted so far doesn't help much. imlib2 is a different library than imlib, so it doesn't apply here. if you are running an rpm distro, make sure you have the -devel package installed for imlib. if you still can't get it to work, post the relevant portion of config.log

I'm sorry! It's imlib-config! Without .h...

Some clearer questions:
1 - Where is defined the path to imlib.h?
2 - How can I change it?
3 - How does ./configure find it?

More. In imlib-config, what does these lines mean?
1 - prefix=/usr
2 - exec_prefix=/usr
3 - exec_prefix_set=no
4 -
if test /usr/include != /usr/include ; then
includes=-I/usr/include
fi
echo $includes
;;
--cflags-gdk)
if test /usr/include != /usr/include ; then
includes=-I/usr/include
fi


Thank you

show us the output from
imlib-config --version

imlib-config --version
1.9.14

post the config.log from the source that wouldn't work ( if you can, just find the relevant portion where it has errors).

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

configure: exit 1

there you go
so
imlib-config --libs
must be returning
-L/usr/lib -lImlib -ljpeg -ltiff -lungif -lpng -lz -lm -lXext -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11

first thing to do is as root run
ldconfig

then either make sure there is no like config.cache file or whatever or what i do is just delete the build directory and untar the package again to get a clean start and try the configure again

if that doesn't work show us
cd /usr/lib
ls -l | grep libtiff

hard to imagine you don't have libtiff

It is not working...
And so...

# ls -l | grep libtiff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2005-04-10 20:09 libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.3.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277544 2005-01-07 12:30 libtiff.so.3.5

and where is the library? just because it's on your filesystem doesn't mean the linker will find it. has the library been cached by ldconfig or in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH? is it a system installed library or did you install it yourself?

Imlib.h is in /usr/include
The system installed it there.

1 - I don't know how I use ldconfig
2 - I don't know how I access enviornment variables.

Thank you

ok i see

this is all you need to do as root of course
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libtiff.so.3.5 libtiff.so

now it should work

Not working...

Well?

What would you like to see?

Thanks

you don't give us any information
if you tried configure again from a clean build directory after running ldconfig as root check the log to see if it's the same error concerning libtiff if it is check the link you made in /usr/lib is it made correctly.

other than that no telling -- i notice the *la libtool archive file along with the link for libtiff is missing
so there might be a developement package for libtiff that's missing

sometimes there are just unexplained odd things with configure scripts due to version differences in the tool chain -- as a last resort sometimes if i can't get an older or newer version to work i just hack the configure script and make the test think it worked.

Thank you for your patience.
I have it working now (although the traydock icon is terribly ugly) and I must to say merci!

And here, (Resumo da Ópera), if you want to know, a synopsis of the problem:

Well, when I got this problem, I searched for imlib-devel and I had installed it.
Although, I didn't know I had to have libtiff-devel, too.
Then, you said about it and I installed libtiff-devel and other packs, like libungif-devel and libpng-devel.
./configure started to work. make, although, didn't.
make was asking some -ieee. Then, I installed glibc-devel-static and it worked.

Obrigado e até.
