Yes taousif lfs had been built and he is now on blfs trying to setup XFCE

Hi,
According to the exo configure step it is not installed, or it is installed but cannot be found. The log file that was created by the configure step tells you more about this error then is shown on screen, you need to check that out.

The following command tells you where libxfce4util is installed (if it is): Hope this helps.

hi druuna
see this:following command output is nothing

root [ ~ ]# find / -type f -name libxfce4util-* 2>/dev/null | grep -v html
root [ ~ ]#

root [ ~ ]# cd /home/janu/Downloads/xc/src/
root [ /home/janu/Downloads/xc/src ]# find / -type f -name libxfce4util-* 2>/dev/null | grep -v html
root [ /home/janu/Downloads/xc/src ]#

means its not installed right?
what is missing ???

hi druuna
see this
root [ /home/janu/Downloads/xc/src ]# pkg-config --modversion libxfce4util-1.0
result:Package libxfce4util-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxfce4util-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxfce4util-1.0' found

Hi,
It does seem that libxfce4util is not installed.

PS: Why do you execute the command I gave twice? It (the find command I posted) starts looking in the root directory.....

Why are you still looking for version 1.0? I thought I explained that already in post #41.

Also: The find command I posted in post #47 already looked for files with libxfce4util in their name (and as you posted, it did not find anything).

Install the required package.

Hope this helps.

hi druuna

If you followed the package install order shown on the xfce build page, you already installed libxfce4util (version 4.8.1), it should have been the second package you installed.


[sorry for that:i have not followed exactly as that order]
if that is mistake i will remove /src directory and again i will extract:http://archive.xfce.org/xfce/4.8/
and i will install :http://www.xfce.org/download/building as per order
let you know progress soon

hi druuna

this i time exactly i followed order as mentioned here:http://www.xfce.org/download/building

why i am getting different answers:
whats wrong

hi druuna

SMALL INFORMATION:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...vn/index.html:this one actually i am following[BLFS-SVN]

Package Dependency(-ies)
xfce4-dev-tools autoconf, automake, intltool, pkgconfig
I WAS NOT INSTALL pkg-config-0.22
:THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE AT http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...svn/index.html

SO I GOOGLE IT FOR pkg-config-0.22 :I GOT IT -BLFS-6.3
i INSTALLED pkg-config-0.22 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...pkgconfig.html[BLFS-6.3]

then i did post#52
after reboot post#53

Hi,You don't have a clue what your are doing and are systematically messing up your system due to that.

pkg-config (0.25) was already installed during the build of LFS.

You now have an old version of pkg-config, possibly in a different location then the one installed during LFS.

2 members found this post helpful.

hi druuna
yes you are right.
while building lfs-6.7 i done 6.18. Pkg-config-0.25 in /sources dir

now i have installed Pkg-config-0.22 in /home/janu/Downloads/xc dir

now i will remove old version Pkg-config-0.22 source[extracted ] dir in /home/janu/Downloads/xc dir
and i will reboot i will start
is this k??
or what shall i do to remove old version only

Really, man I think you'd do better trying another distro first. LFS/CLFS/BLFS/CBLFS isn't for novices.

hi druuna
i removed old version Pkg-config-0.22 source[extracted ] dir in /home/janu/Downloads/xc dir

root [ /home/janu/Downloads/xc/src/xfconf-4.8.0 ]#

any suggation plz

Hi,
No you did _not_ remove pkg-config, you deleted the source directory and not the installed files.

The above clearly shows that PREFIX is _not_ set and thus the install locations are incorrect.

But that shouldn't surprise you, you already noticed this in your previous post. You really think that ignoring it will help in any way? The only thing you accomplished is messing up your system even further.....

Stop what you are doing, get familiar with linux in general and try again once you know what you are doing and feel comfortable using the command line.

Installing from source is not a copy-paste exercise, you need to be able to interpret log files and output shown to screen. You also need to read and be able to understand what's said on web pages and written in a variety of help files that come with the source.

As you yourself showed in your previous post (the libxfce4util-4.8.1 part), not getting an error during the build does not automatically mean it was installed correctly. In this case it is installed, but in the wrong location. You need to be able to pick this up and fix this yourself.

If setting a variable to a specific value is too hard for you to do, then you have a long way to go before you are ready to try to build a B/LFS sytem. BLFS and all that comes with it is a lot harder then LFS. LFS is mostly a copy-paste exercise when it comes down to it (although doing that will not teach you anything at all).
