gdk-pixbuf & dia

[kashirat]

Hi,

Im trying to install dia, and I apparently am missing the library files for gdk-pixbuf.. I went to install them but am having problems compiling with some make errors:
( this is only a portion of the make log)

Do you have gdk-pixbuf installed?

If your distro is rpm based...

rpm -q gdk-pixbuf
or
rpm -qa | grep gdk

rpm -q gdk-pixbuf

or

rpm -qa | grep gdk

I will try that when i get home... A few questions, sorta off topic though... is rpm a package management program? I've never been able to install anything with it, I've always just used configure, make, make install to install everything.. Is this a bad thing? I mean, if I want to uninstall something I will probably have some problems trying to find all of its copied files correct?

Also, is there any way of searching through your entire file system for a specific file without using rpm? I've used ls -R / | grep filename but it only tells me if the filename exists, not where it is...

Thanks for your time,

You can use 'locate' or the 'find' command to search for files.

man find

Yes RPM is a package management system.

Since my distro is rpm based and I sometimes install from source (./configure/make/make install etc.), I also use 'checkinstall'.

Instead of me explaining, search the 'How I did it' forum for checkinstall and you will find information on it.
