libbonoboui syntax error

Pier · 02-05-2006, 11:50 AM

Hi everyone,
I had the bad idea of getting involved in using gnomemeeting. I downloaded the bin package from linuxpackages.net and of course I was prepared to solve all the lib dependencies problems. Running gnomemeeting from the terminal prompt:

gnomemeeting
gnomemeeting: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeui-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I got libgnomeui from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platf....13.5/sources/
and after getting and compiling:

glib
gnome-vfs
libbonobo
gnome-mime-data
libgnomecanvas

that libgnomeui depends on I still have to get

libgnome

compiled, which on turn depends on

libbonoboui

Now for some reason which I don't understand there seems to be some syntax error in it.
I tried to compile libbonoboui 2.13.1 as well as 2.10.1 but I always get the following message:

make
bla...bla...bla..
-DBONOBO_EXPLICIT_TRANSLATION_DOMAIN=\"libbonoboui-2.0\" -g -O2 -c bonobo-dock.c -MT bonobo-dock.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/bonobo-dock.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/bonobo-dock.o
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:152,
from bonobo-dock.c:28:
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkstatusbar.h:68: error: syntax error before "GMemChunk"
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkstatusbar.h:68: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkstatusbar.h:82: error: syntax error before '}' token
make[2]: *** [bonobo-dock.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/libbonoboui-2.13.1/bonobo'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/libbonoboui-2.13.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I can't make out any error in the /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkstatusbar.h source or at least I am not able to find any.

Can anyone help me trying to get rid of this headache?
Thanks a lot

Slackware package.
As well, there is another way. You can try to install dropline-gnome and select all packages which you need.

Thanx a lot! That solved the libboboui

Now I'll get down with the other thousand libs requested

So use another way. It will be much quicker.

Which way?

Now fighting to find libebook in the web.....

Install droppline gnome. There would be gnome meeting.

Thanks,
I managed to get gnomemeeting installed from dropline-gnome. Yet gnome desktop is not working... is perhaps the telinit statement at the beginning mandatory to complete the installation? Anyway under kde I had to sweat a little more to get it function properly. I kept getting the:
/apps/gnomemeeting/general/gconf_test_age

Rummaging the web I found the answere to this at:

http://lists.qilinux.it/pipermail/qi.../2005-June.txt

Giving the command:

GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml::/etc/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gnome/gconf/schemas/gnomemeeting.schemas 2>&1 > dev/null

Take care

Yea, that should have been run on Gnome meeting's doinst.sh.... I'm suprised Dropline doesn't know better... I'd be curious as to whether or not you have 2 schema directories... One in /etc/gconf and one in /etc/gnome/gconf.... If you built some yourself and used some of Droplines, you probably do... Good to hear it's working now...

Actually, this is already in the Dropline Gnomemeeting doinst.sh:

Code:

if [ -x usr/bin/gconftool-2 -a -x usr/bin/chroot ]; then
  GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`usr/bin/chroot /$ROOT /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
  usr/bin/chroot /$ROOT /usr/bin/env GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=$GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/gnomemeeting.schemas 2>&1 >/dev/null
fi
if [ -x usr/bin/chroot -a -x usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update ]; then
  usr/bin/chroot /$ROOT /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update -n -p /var/lib/scrollkeeper -o /usr/share/omf/gnomemeeting 2>/dev/null
fi
if [ -x usr/bin/update-desktop-database -a -x usr/bin/chroot ]; then
  usr/bin/chroot /$ROOT /usr/bin/update-desktop-database &> /dev/null
fi

Not sure what happened with the above user's install, but it works without a hitch here. The fact that it is suggested that his GNOME desktop does not work at all indicates to me that something is awry with his install. Could be a result of several of the above mentioned items that he manually compiled. I would suggest a clean installation (of Slackware 10.2 and GNOME) in order to have all componenets working correctly, as we can only verify that they will be 100% functional in such an install.

I recant! Actually, I'm suprised that I didn't look at your doinst.sh before I said I'm suprised you didn't know better...

It is best to compile all gnome things yourself or not at all. You'll surely wind up with a haphazard mish-mash of packages if you don't... I just got done with a Vanilla 2.12.3 and she purs like a kitten. Surely that wouldn't be the case if I used a combination of Dropline and linuxpackages...
