Thunar install on Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6.16.19
Hi all,
I'm having problems trying to install Thunar on Slackware 10.2.
I've downloaded Thunar 0.3.0 Beta 1 and libexo 0.3.1.6 Beta 1 from http://thunar.xfce.org/download.html.
I've unpacked both, and as per the instructions on http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/installation tried to install libexo first.
The compiling fails telling me that my intltool is too old, and that I need 0.31 or later.
I have downloaded and installed intltool 0.33 from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs.../intltool.html
but still it gives me the same error. From what I can tell from the install, intltool was installed to /usr/local/share/intltool.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know an easier way to install Thunar?
Many thanks,
Mark.

did you uninstall the old intltool package ?
if not, do so.
( and after that reinstall the newer one.)

Hi egag,
If you mean 'package' as by one that I can remove by pkgtool, then I didn't have one installed.
I'm pretty sure that the only one I have installed is the one I did myself (0.33). That is now in /usr/local/share/intltool.
Mark.

----------------

----------------
" to old" or "not there" ?
it's one of both.
what does " ls /var/log/packages/intltool* " give back ?

Hi egag,
It gives back:
Quote:
ls: /var/log/packages/intltool*: No such file or directory.
|
I think that's because I don't have it as an installed package, but because I installed and compiled the source for 0.33.
Is that what you mean?
Thank you for helping me with this BTW.
Mark.

that's what i mean.
so it's just not there as a package.
if you have installed to /usr/local, the binaries are in /usr/local/bin.
is that dir (/usr/local/bin) in your PATH ?
( check with "echo $PATH ")
and check "ls /usr/local/bin/intltool*" .
the last one should return "intltool-extract" and a few others.
if all that is ok, you "should" be ready to go.

Hi egag,
If I run:
Code:
ls /usr/local/bin/intltool*
I get:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13942 2006-06-05 18:20 /usr/local/bin/intltool-extract
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34090 2006-06-05 18:20 /usr/local/bin/intltool-merge
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8667 2006-06-05 18:20 /usr/local/bin/intltool-prepare
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26943 2006-06-05 18:20 /usr/local/bin/intltool-update
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8920 2006-06-05 18:20 /usr/local/bin/intltoolize
if I run:
I get:
Code:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
But yet when I try to run ./configure --prefix="/usr/local" for libexo, it still moans that my Intltool is still too old.
Also, if I run:
Code:
/usr/local/bin/intltoolize --version
I get:
Code:
intltoolize (GNU intltool) 0.33
What am I missing?
Mark.

it's a shit-script.
maybe it's only looking in /usr/bin
the simplest thing to try is move the files from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin
( to do that :"mv /usr/local/bin/intltool* /usr/bin" )
if that still won't work, i would change the config-script.

egag,
I'm using:
Code:
./configure --prefix="/usr/local"
As laid out in http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/installation.
What do you reckon is the best thing to do?
Again, thanks for the time you're spending helping me on this.
Mark.

Hi egag,
Nah, still the same error. It's also the case if I leave off the --prefix options altogether.
Which do you think I should do now - move the intltool files or modify the configure script?
Mark.

do make uninstall on your compiled intltool.
Then reconfigure using --prefix=/usr and re-install
