I'm trying to install Electric Eyes under Slack, and I get the following output when I run ./configure.

CODE

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes

checking for working aclocal... found

checking for gnome-config... no

checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found

configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install

I don't appear to have gnome-config, and have no idea how to get it.

I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean. I don't even HAVE the urpmf command.

gnome-config and gnomeConf.sh are in the libgnome32-devel pkg, and gtar is part of the tar pkg. However, libgnome32-devel may be called something diff like
gnome32libs-devel
or
gnome32-libs-devel
or....who knows what on a non mandrake sys :wink: Hopefully a slacker will tell you if you can't find it.

I ran a search for libgnome32-devel and variations on that name, and could find nothing but mandrake RPMs. Do any other Slack users know where I can find the source for this package?

It is telling you, you need to install gnome-libs.

mount your slack cdrom and run as root:

CODE

~# installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/gnome/gnome-libs.version.tgz

or something similar, I don't have the cdrom here to check the right path.

The only package on the CD with a name remotely close to that is the libgnome package, and that is already installed.

on my 8.1 the package that contains gnomeconf.sh is gnome-libs. But I guess you are right and in 9.0 this might have changed.

This is my /usr/lib/gnomeConf.sh

CODE

#

# Configuration of the gnome-libs package

#

GNOME_LIBDIR="-L/usr/lib"

GNOME_INCLUDEDIR="-I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include"

GNOME_LIBS="-lgnome -lgnomesupport -L/usr/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm -L/usr/lib -laudiofile -lm -ldb1 -L/usr/lib -lglib "

GNOMEUI_LIBS="-lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -L/usr/lib -lgdk_imlib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm -lSM -lICE -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgnome -lgnomesupport -L/usr/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm -L/usr/lib -laudiofile -lm -ldb1 -L/usr/lib -lglib "

need_gnome_support="yes"

but for what I've find out after a little google search you'll probably can pass the gnomeConf.sh problem by running config as follows:

CODE

~$ ./configure --with-gnome-libs=/opt/gnome/lib

or whatever path does have your gnome libraries

Wellcome to the Slackware user friendly distro!

this has nothing to do with the userfriendliness of a distro and everything to do with the fact that the files you require for EE are a product of gnome 1.4.

further the reason you often don't find <somepackage>-devel in some distros is that they do not split off the headers and other files that are used for "development".

PS-this latter comment is not a stab at distros like mandrake or RH, just an observation.

The way I see it is if it's;

libgnome32-devel in ML9.1
gnome-libs in Slack
gnome-libs-devel-x.x.x-32 in RH9

it has a lot to do with the distro and very little to do with gnome. Re-pkged and diff dep names make it more and more distro specific. Personally I have always hated ML's libthis and libthat.

Yeah that is what I figured, which is why I looked for variations, even left out the word "devel".

The gnome-libs package is not installed on my system, nor is it on the CD, nor is it on slackware's package site.

I found a bunch of libgnome..... files in /usr/lib, and ran configure with the --with-gnome-libs=/usr/lib, and I still get the same error. It can't find gnome-config, and I searched my whole computer for it and it's not there.

I notice that there is a Slack 8.1 package for it, would it be a bad thing if I tried to compile it and install under 9.0? You know, not installing it with installpkg?

OK, I actually found the gnome-libs source, took me forever. I am getting some kind of compile error, in a file called gnome-metadata.c. Here is the error I am getting, if it helps any.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance of Gnome, I never cared for it much as a desktop environment, and never really learned a whole lot about how it and all its libraries work.
