this is on a 500mhz comp running mandrake 7.2
i wanted gnapster cause it didn't come with install cd.(it comes with helix code, but i've heard there is compatability issues with mandrake 7.2)
to install gnapster i have to have glib and gtk installed
so i downloaded the latest 1.3.1
i ./configure make and make install
the gtlib and it goes fine.

but when i try to ./configure the gtk it goes for awhile and then shows this message:

checking for glib-confige02.0... no
checking for GLIB - version >=1.3.1... no
***The glib-config-2.0 script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If Clib was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIZ/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG_2_0 environment variable to the
***full path to glib-config-2.0.
configure: error:
*** GLIB 1.3.1 or better is required. The lates version of GLIB
*** is always availiable from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

well whatever PREFIX is I don't think i installed it there.
thanx for anyhelp.

If you did not install it with --prefix=/usr then by default it was installed in /usr/local/bin (glib-conifg) and all the libs under /usr/local/lib.See if running ldconfig will fix the error, if you still get it then add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.config and rerun ldconfig again.Hope this helps.

Hmm, you use it with configure eg. ./configure --prefix=/usr --with='whaterver options you'd like'...just run ./configure --help and it will show all the options available to you.On a side note there should be option to specify where glib libraries are located.

Let us know if you get any further.Good luck http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif.

what options should i use?
i just want to get it to work to install gtk
and then gnapster.


will running an rpm from helix-code work for me better?
well i gotta reload anyhow, cause i tried putting helix code on mandrake 7.2 and...well...they aren't excactly compatable.
