Many GTK Installation problems

simeandrews · 01-29-2005, 07:15 PM

Ok, I have glib and ATK set up, I know I already posted this, but this will be much cleaner and easier to understand. The issue I have with GTK installation is the installation of Pango. Here's the message I got when I tried to install it on Mandrake 10.1 Official:

configure: WARNING: No fontconfig found, skipping tests for FreeType and Xft
configure: error: *** Didn't find any of FreeType, X11, or Win32.
*** Must have at least one backend to build Pango.

So, fontconfig said I needed freetype, which also wasnt on urpmi (everything installed)

Here's what I got

I am very frustrated, can someone help?

Why are you trying to install pango by compiling? The easiest way is to install the RPM that is in the distribution and
you've already (probably) got most of it installed already.

I guess you're really trying to install something else that requires pango and that software's configure told you it couldn't
find pango. What you're missing are the -devel packages.

So to be able to compile anything that requires pango you need to 'urpmi pango-devel' (or possibly 'urpmi libpango1.0_0-devel').

As an example on how to find out what package that needs to be installed:
In your pango-compilating example, it whines about not finding "fontconfig.pc"
An 'urpmf fontconfig.pc' tells you it's in the "libfontconfig1-devel" package, so an 'urpmi libfontconfig1-devel' is what's needed.

I guess I needed the stuff I thought was pointless in the other post, search GTK binary and it will come up, it'll tell you my problem, my whole day at the computer trying to fix it.

libfuntconfig1-devel etc didn't exidt and urpmi pango said everything already installed. Basically what I'm trying to do is update, and I like compiling more because it let's you have more control over it.

His problem is a little complex as I have been following his previous post.

He wants to install GIMP 2.2.1, which requires the new GTK 2.6, which Mandrake (URPMI) doesn't have. Therefore, he has to compile from source. GTK requires 3 dependencies - ATK, Pango, and GLIB that must be recent v ersions, I believe, which Mandrake (URPMI) is also behind on. otherwise, he could have just URPMI GTK and avoided this whole problem!

You may need to install the devel packages of the dependencies that are said to be missing after running ./configure. No need to reinstall freetype etc coz it's already on your system, just use urpmi or rpmdrake to install the devel packages that the pango ./configure says are missing.

simeandrews · 01-30-2005, 01:24 PM

We've figured out that it would be easier to just reinstall Mandrake because it is so messy right now.

bunnadik · 01-31-2005, 02:08 AM

To avoid future mess I'd not recommend installing you new stuff in /usr (as in ./configure --prefix=/usr)

I always prefix to /opt/<package> (in your case --prefix=/opt/pango-1.8.0 , --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.2.1 et.al.)
Then I use 'stow' (a perl script from your favorite GNU mirror) to make symbolic links in /usr/local
( stow -d /opt -t /usr/local pango-1.8.0 ).
I also have to point PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and add a "/usr/local/lib" in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf (the new place in 10.1)

This way I'm not messing anything up in my normal filesystem and every package is neatly separated
from each other and thus easily removable ( stow -D -d /opt -t /usr/local pango-1.8.0 && rm -rf /opt/pango-1.8.0 ).

If you install gtk, pango, atk and glib in a different prefix to the old one (the one installed by rpm), the system may still point to the old versions. If you are installing stuff in /usr, you just have to be extra careful and know what you are doing coz mistakes can break your system.

Micro420 · 01-31-2005, 11:35 AM

I have installed my GTK, including ATK, PANGO, and GLIB, in my /usr and so far, I have had no problems with my system. I was given this advice by another forum user in the LInux - Software thread and it has saved me a lot of trouble. I'm just passing along what I learned, what works for me, and what was the easiest.

Tormented · 01-31-2005, 04:40 PM

I use GIMP 2.2.3 compiled from source and it works just fine with Mandrake's version of GTK.
All you need to do is install the proper devel packages using urpmi.

simeandrews · 02-01-2005, 05:50 PM

Ok, Mandrake has been reinstalled, ATK installed, Glib installed, but I'm still where I was before with Pango. Help! This is getting really annoying!

Would it help me if I installed Pango from the command line instead of from within X?

simeandrews · 02-01-2005, 06:27 PM

No, that didn't work outside of X

Micro420 · 02-02-2005, 01:39 AM

Weird! Maybe install Fontconfig via Mandrake Control. Try this:

Open up your Mandrake Control Center --> software --> INSTALL --> search for fontconfig.

Install all things related to fontconfig. After installing fontconfig, try making Pango again.

bunnadik · 02-02-2005, 01:55 AM

If this is the error you still get:

Quote:

"Checking for fontconfig >= 1.0.1... Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fontconfig' found"

you need to install the fontconfig devel package.
If you see an error like this and don't know which package holds the fontconfig.pc file, the easiest
way is to run 'urpmf fontconfig.pc' . That'll answer : "libfontconfig1-devel:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc"

So what you have to do is run 'urpmi libfontconfig1-devel'

Then you'll have to get freetype2. In your first post you compiled freetype-1.3.1 and according to the
GIMP INSTALL file you need freetype2.

simeandrews · 02-02-2005, 05:52 AM

That might've been my problem thee whole time! 1.3.1 was at the top of the download list. I'll do that later though, i gotta go to school. I'll check in later and check if anythings changed
