hi there,

when i try to install wxGTK-2.4.1 (i ultimately want to have xmule-1.4.3 installed), i get this error msg when i do a "./configure":

checking for GTK+ version...
checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.7... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
checking for gtk-config... (cached) no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.3... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error:
Please check that gtk-config is in path, the directory
where GTK+ libraries are installed (returned by
'gtk-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and GTK+ is version 1.2.3 or above.

i tried doing a "find /usr -name gtk-config -print" and found nothing, "echo $GTK_CONFIG" got nothing either. however i did install gtk ...

ps. how do i change the hostname?

It looks as if you don't have the developmental packages for GTK installed.

I wonder what would happen if you give this command:

urpmi xmule

# Mandrake links
Mandrake home page
Mandrake Users website
Easy urpmi config for Mandrake
urpmi mini-HOWTO
Easy software management: Red Carpet
Maximum RPM
rpmfind
You didn't install the developmental packages? As root, command:
urpmi gcc
An Introduction to the Midnight Commander. You can install it by commanding:
urpmi mc
Midnight Commander home page

by developmental packages, do u mean gcc? if so i do have it, as i have compiled pkg-config, atk, pango, glib, and gtk just earlier this week.

gcc is the compiler, but the software you are trying to install needs some gtk packages you don't have installed yet.

Try looking through your uninstalled software with the Mandrake Control Center or type:urpmi gtk and look through the list.

root@uilleann / # urpmi gtk

Try installing things that mention gtk and devel in that list.

ah, i c. thanks for the clarification.
