.\configure issue

**mla** · 10-13-2003, 02:37 AM

I tried everything...
Now is the time to ask...

Fresh installed and updated RH9
I want to install Screem package.

When I run ./configure last lines are:

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

I downloaded latest glib-2.2.3
And succefully run .\configure -make -make install

I tried again to run .\configure for Screem and got
exactly the same message:

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

So I checked my config.log:

[root@localhost screem-0.8.2]# less config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by screem configure 0.8.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

What to do? May be something in gcc?
But I compiled GLIB...

Thanks.

Hey welcome to LJR ;D

I recomend that you download these files
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/apt/ (all three)
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...-1.fr.i386.rpm

to install Become root in the Command Line by typing "su" enter your password, and then type "rpm -ivh *.rpm" then in your "system tools" click on "synaptic" followed by the "update list" then onece that is done you can type in "screem" and it well install. You can also use synaptic to upgrade Red Hat.

Hi Michael,

Also, it might be you need some development libraries from GLIB.

hi mojo jojo,
I tried few more things for installing screem... no luck.

So i did it through SYNAPTIC
Cool! It found everything and properly installed Screem.
Thanks a lot.
Michael.
