bash-2.05b$

my question is how can i can (XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool) fix it

i have give full installation of slackware 9.1

I belive this will help

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/...er-2.34.tar.gz

yes it is working

but it gives another err

Package sigc++-1.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sigc++-1.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

All that stuff in parenthises are the packages which you must have compiled and installed on your system in order to compile and install whatever it is your doing. I suggest looking on your slackware source cd or around on the web for them. Build them first, and then build whatever your trying to build now.

The PKG_CONFIG_PATH bit is for if you have installed something, but in a nonstandered place, like /opt. If you have sigc++ installed somewhere already, type 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/wherever/its/installed' from you bash prompt. It's called an environment variable.

i have installed
libsigc++-2.0.1
plugin in /usr/local/lib/
but still give

how can i set the sigc++ path


i have slackware source d3 and d4

the
sigc++-2.0.pc files in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

and other *.pc files in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig

but it could not find the sigc++
how can i set the sig path pkgconfig

Hi, just type
in the terminal before you run configure.
If you want to set it permanently you can put it in /etc/profile.

nope not working

still shows

Try adding that path, /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, to /etc/ld.so.conf.......and then run the command:

ldconfig

NOTE: you must be root to do this.....

nope
not working
is there any way to set this with pkg-config
i have gave man pkg-config but the manuals is not enough

I'm curious, but what version KDE and QT are you using..................the reason I ask is that if you upgrade KDE without upgrading to the QT package that is found with the KDE packages, you may experience problems trying to compile apps....

I've found it to be important to keep the QT/KDE packages in sync.....................I don't know if this is the case here, but thought it worth mentioning.......

Having just successfully overcome the exact problem you are facing, let me help...

Inkscape apparently requires SigC++ version 1.2, but you have SigC++ version 2.0 installed. You need to download and compile libsigc++-1.2 (don't worry, it seems to be able to coexist with version 2.0), and then add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH as explained above.

BTW, I tried to just link sigc++-1.2.pc to point to my already-installed sigc++-2.0.pc, but then promptly ran into an error while compiling. The dependency on version 1.2 is strict.... after I installed libsigc++-1.2.5, I had no problems compiling.

i will install

sigc++ 1.2.5

yes it is now working

i have installed libsigc++-2.0.1 then it was not working
but after install libsigc++-1.2.5

working fine
