Mozilla install difficulties

[StuartR]

I'm trying to run ./configure to install the latest version of Mozilla and I get the following error mesage:

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found.
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
*** GTK+ is available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
configure: error: Test for GTK failed.
linux:/home/srogers/source/linux/extras/Mozilla/mozilla #


I'm running SuSe Linux version 7.3.
I checked to see if GTK is installed and YaST2 shows that it is. I would think it is installed because I'm currently running .9.4 of Mozilla. I'm logged in as root when trying to run configure. I would think it is something easy that I'm overlooking. Any help woould be appreciated. I also searched for a problem like this in the forum, but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks in advance!

Type

whereis gtk-config

If it doesn't return anything, then you don't have the gtk-config command. It is included in the gtk dev package, that is the development package for gtk. Search your SuSE CDs if you have them and look for a package called "libgtk1.2-dev" or something like that, if you find it, install it and try again.

Possibly it is failing because gtk is not current enough. I believe you can check the version of gtk like this:

gtk-config --version


If your version is >= 1.2.0 then you need to upgrade.

Thanks for the tips. I tried the whereis command and it returned nothing. I also checked the SuSE distro and it states that the glib is installed. Any other suggestions?

Uhmm yeah, that's great but did you check if "libgtk-...dev" is installed, as scanez said?

[StuartR]

Thanks for your help. You were right. I pulled down the development files and it ckeared up the GTK error right away. Now I'm on to the next one about no libIDL-config. I would think it would be find those files and re-compile! Thanks again for helping me through it. Will let you know if I finally get Mozilla to work!

Actually you dont use ./configure && make && make install to get mozilla installed better read @ http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html ;)

I just downloaded the tarball, unpacked it, and it worked just fine.

Okay, I hope I'm not driving you guys crazy. But here is the latest. I got the configure to work, but when trying to run gmake I get the error below. I'm not sure what the error means. Any help is much appreciated!
