GTK+2 Installation

secureoffice · 10-09-2005, 01:16 PM

hehe, ok, back to the source.....

Hopefully someone can wake me from this nightmare.....

I am trying to install GTK+2, and I couldn't find any RPM's for Suse 9.2 so I have to use the source package.....

gtk+-2.4.14

When I run ./configure I get this error....

Cut for shortness:

Code:

checking for wchar.h... yes
checking for wctype.h... yes
checking for iswalnum... yes
checking if iswalnum() and friends are properly defined... yes
checking whether to build gmodulized gdk-pixbuf... yes
checking whether dynamic modules work... yes
checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff... yes
checking tiffio.h usability... yes
checking tiffio.h presence... yes
checking for tiffio.h... yes
checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... yes
checking for jpeglib.h... yes
checking for jpeg_simple_progression in -ljpeg... yes
checking for libpng12... no
checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no
configure: WARNING: *** PNG loader will not be built (PNG library not found) ***
configure: WARNING: *** PNG loader will not be built (PNG header file not found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for PNG loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libpng to configure but many programs using GTK+ will
*** not work properly. The PNG loader is also needed if you are compiling
*** from CVS.

So heres the rub, YAST says that LibPNG is already installed, so I searched for libpng.so.3 and sure enough its here:

/usr/lib/libpng.so.3

So.....?

How do I learn from this....?

Thanks again to all the smart nixers...!

You need to install the developemnt packages of libpng.

Ok, I downloaded the libpng libraries and installed them good.

So I ran the GTK configure command again and this time I got this.....

Code:

checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff... yes
checking tiffio.h usability... yes
checking tiffio.h presence... yes
checking for tiffio.h... yes
checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... yes
checking for jpeglib.h... yes
checking for jpeg_simple_progression in -ljpeg... yes
checking for libpng12... yes
checking pixbuf loaders to build...
checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes
checking return type of signal handlers... (cached) void
checking for x86 platform... yes
checking compiler support for MMX... yes
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes
configure: error: Pango 1.2.0 and Xft backend is required for x11 target
ocean:/usr/src/gtk+-2.4.14 #

I have already installed Pango-1.10.1 so i dunno what this means exactly.....

Any ideas?

let's just back up and state that suse 9.2 DOES contain gtk2, there is no need whatsoever to install gtk2 from source, it IS on your distro cd's, and infact is probably already installed. why do you think you need to install it? if it's cos you're trying to compile other software that requires it, then it's just the gtk2-devel package you need, again from your distro cd's.

Well, ok getting back to the start...ish...

I see the GTK packages on YAST and they are installed, but when I try and install the gEDA software I get this:

Code:

ocean:/media/cdrecorder # ./installer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "installer.py", line 163, in ?
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 43, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so", line 4, in ?
ImportError: /opt/gnome/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: _pango_engine_shape_covers
ocean:/media/cdrecorder #

I have installed about 10 different packages trying to get this to work.....everything I try to install something it asks me for it has a dependancy and then just loops forever!!!!

Whats the Pango Devel packages?

I went to the Pango website and downloaded the latest stable release which was 1.10.1 and installed it. That's what it told me to do.

Pango development packages is what I meant. Anyway if you installed the source package then there is no need to install the devel packages from the Suse 9.2 installation source.

OK, thank you.
