Installation of mysql-workbench asking some weird packages.

Hi,

I was trying to install mysql-workbench on slackware. Somehow i found pre-built package of mysql-workbench and installed it. But it wont start.

Then i decided to compile it from source, i seek slackbuild.org for it and tried an installation.

It asked me for gtkmm-2.4

Code:

.

.

.

configure: error: Package requirements (gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.12) were not met:



No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.



Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNOME_CFLAGS

and GNOME_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Then when i tried installing gtkmm3 it is asking me for

Code:

.

.

.

configure: error: Package requirements (giomm-2.4 >= 2.32.0 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.27.1 gtk+-3.0 >= 3.4.0 cairomm-1.0 >= 1.9.2 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.22.1) were not met:



No package 'giomm-2.4' found



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.



Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GDKMM_CFLAGS

and GDKMM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

but i cant find giomm anywhere!

'giomm-2.4' : That's /usr/lib(64)/pkgconfig/giomm-2.4.pc,
a package config file, provided by glibmm ..
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...raries/glibmm/

Why install gtkmm-3 when gtkmm-2.4 is required?

Just read carefully the "This requires" notes on slackbuilds.org for each application or library. Make and install the dependencies first, using only what is provided on Slackbuilds.org.

So begin with the dependencies of dependencies.

you can also use sbopkg (some docs) and its queuefiles to ease things, but you are still supposed to read the README for every package you build from slackbuilds.org's scripts.

Also if stuff like the queuefiles repository can help, remember that you have to resolve dependencies (mandatories and optionals) on your installation (you decide and are responsible on what is in and what is out).

Thanks, i already got hint on installing packages from slackbuild.org and i am following it already.

Anyway, after installing Dependencies of dependencies and again few more dependencies, i ended up with following error

ponce : thanks for referring sbopkg.

Looks a bit strange as this file is provided by gcc-g++-4.7.1
Make sure that this package be installed (it should, if you made a full installation of Slackware-14.0)

Well, i was surfing and found http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ckages-850734/
this person is having same error as mine, but i couldn't understand how he fixed it!
Pls do tell, i am tired of installing workbench!

Did you install a 32 bit or a 64 bit Slackware 14?

That's why it doesn't find that file. It is in /usr/lib64, not in /usr/lib, in your installation (you can check that).

You had that error running mysql-workbench-gpl.SlackBuild, right? Then it should have set LIBDIRSUFFIX to 64, so that's look a bit strange. And the source code is architecture independant so you should not need compat libraries. In any case this is not the same problem as in the thread you linked to.

Just to make sure, please provide output of:

Code:

uname -m

64!

and multilib too, I suppose: refeer to slackbuilds.org' faq.

bash-4.2$ uname -a
Linux unkn0wn-XPS 3.7.1 #2 SMP Thu Dec 20 21:20:41 CST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I assume you have multilib gcc-g++ installed.

If that is the case, edit mysql-workbench-gpl.SlackBuild this way (line added in red):

Code:

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \

CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \

./autogen.sh

and run the SlackBuild again.

Sorry for being such a burden, but in absence of all you gentlemen i messed with package gcc-g++ and now my holy system is serving me with error.

Code:

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

See `config.log' for more details

Please dont kill me!

We can't, unless you kindly give us your address :^)

Would you be kind enough to tell us:
(1) Which command did you issue which gave you this error message?
(2) What did you do exactly with gcc-g++?

This could help us to help you.
