Hi,

I have a problem installing GTK+2.8.1 to support some other apps and have come across the following error message when 'making';

I've successfully compiled; Pango 1.8.1, libiconv, zlib, tiff 3.7.4, glib 2.8.1, cairo 1.0.0, atk etc and am using Mandriva LE 2005 / Kernel 2.6.11-12mdk

Appreciate if anyone could shed any light on this. ;-)

TIA

All of those as well as GTK+ are availalable through the package management system and don't need to be compiled. Have you been to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org yet and setup the extra software repositories? What are you trying to compile? Are you sure it needs exactly GTK+2.8 - GTK+2.6 is installed by default on Mandriva?

If you really do need to compile something then you have to install the -devel packages for each of those. So install gtk+-devel or libgtk+-devel or whatever its called (search in the Software installation thingo in the Mandrake Control Centre). Same goes for all those other packages - install pango-deve, libiconv-devel and so on. You should probably uninstall (make uninstall) the versions that you compiled too.
