Configure error

[Earny]

During several attempts to install programs (kshowmail and gimp 2.0.1) I get the following message after typing ./configure as root:

 

/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

 

I installed cpp, but it did not work

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hmmm...try gcc-c++ or gcc-cpp.

Why are you compiling these? Are you not on Mandrake?

 

urpmi kshowmail

urpmi gimp-2_0

[Earny]

Yes I am on mandrake, However the Kshowmail version of mandrake appears to be inferior. Everytime I close the program it looses all info including account info. According to the author this seems to be a widespread problem. I have to setup accounts over and over again. In addition there is no gimp 2.0.x rpm version as yet. I've got to do that with a tar.gz file. Finally there are lots of programs that are only availlable as tar files. Using Mandrake doesn't necessarlily mean that I have to stick with (mdk) rpms, does it?

Thanks for the reply anyway

gimp2 is in the contrib folder on your favorite server. Try this:

ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandra...0/contrib/i586/

 

No, you don't have to stick with rpm files, but it helps ;)

I'm using kshowmail 3.0.4 with no such problems:

ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/mandrake/10....4-4mdk.i586.rpm

make sure you have the C++ compiler installed, g++

urpmi gcc-cpp gcc-c++

installing gcc c+ helped to make run ./configure. However 'make' is protesting now. This is what it says trying to install Kshowmail

 

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

But for showmail this is not really relevant anymore as the version of showmail from the begian site works fine (thanks!!)

however gimp 2 was not in the mirrorlist (unless it was under a different name).

[HJ]

Just a wild guess, but try this..

urpmi libmimedir

[bvc]

yes

mimelib/mimepp.h: No such file or directory

is the current problem

 

so do

urpmf mimepp.h

and it'll tell you which devel pkg is not installed. Thyen use

urpmi name-devel

to install it.

 

IF urpmf mimepp.h returns nothing then the pkg is not in your sources and you can't go any further til you get it.

Gimp2:

ftp://ftp.belnet.be/linux/mandrake/devel/...1-1mdk.i586.rpm

[Earny]

Thanks for the url with the gimp rpm, but this is what ikpackage results in

 

error: Failed dependencies:

RESULT=1

 

How do I get these. Is there an rpm which includes these

[bvc]

I showed you...take the first one, first;

urpmf libcroco.so.2

then urpmi <name> to install the needed dependency. If it doesn't return anything the it is not in your sources and you need to add sources to urpmi. There are a lot of threads about that on the board.

then continue if you get more dep errors.

 

the rpm in the url is cooker, unless you want to go cooker you need one that is non cooker, if I'm not mistaken.

[Earny]

Looks easy. However, I have none of these dependencies in my system. They are not on mdk install cd's. I have no idea where to get them. I tried some download sites, but no succces. I tried to find a usable thread, but again, no result

Any idea?

thanks in advance

[streeter]

Do a search for easyurpmi on this forum

[Earny]

I found it, used it and gimp 2 works!

Thanks
