XMMS wont compile

[Carl_1]

While trying to ./configure XMMS, I get an error that says GTK >= 1.2.0 isnt installed, Yet I know it is installed because I can see it in the etc directory of my harddrive. It says set the GTK_CONFIG variable to my full GTK config directory(im guessing file:/etc/GTK2.0(or GTK) but in what file do I set this?

Mandrake 9.1

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I do not have any answers and am as much confused as you are.

I was told in the IRC to copy all the GTK files to /usr/lib/ and I did, but it still is giving me the error.

You don't set that variable in any file, it's a shell variable. To set a shell variable for instance, you could use this command: export VARIABLE=value. To check if it worked, use this command: echo $VARIABLE. The $ sign lets the computer know you are referring to a variable, but you don't use it when you are assigning variables in the shell.

Anyways, I belive it's possible to have GTK 1.2 and GTK 2.0 installed in parallel, you could look into that, or install beep instead. Beep is XMMS with new dependencies, like GTK 2.0, and it uses Pango for fonts as well. Try it out. http://beepmp.sourceforge.net/

Alright I set it to the GTK directory but it still errors, where is the GTK config file located, or called.

You could try installing any packages that have -devel in the name that look like they're related to gtk. What distro are you using, btw?

[hammer123]

the problem with rpm based distroes is that they seperate the program from the parts needed for development. your issue is that you do not have the gtk-dev rpm. without it you cannot compile things based on rpm. Whatever your distro is you guys install all the development rpms for the programs you are using if you don't want to have these problems.

Im using Mandrake 9.2 and it doesnt come with XMMS, so I should look for dlevel GTK/XMMS?

Try installing gtk-devel.
