cptaylor Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I have been unable to configure any programs since I upgraded to ML10.0. The installation did not go smoothly and I had to skip some files to continue. I wrote them all down and thought I had installed them later. But, I still suspect something is missing. Anyway, I have tried to track down the configure problem but just can not make sense of the errors in config.log. I'm not sure where to look for the problem. No matter the program, the config.log complains about confdefs.h. A typical config.log file is attached. Thanks for the help. -Chris [moved from Software by spinynorman] config.log.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Can't help with the error but I can tell you there is a rpm for aytmm 0.4.6. What probably is missing are some devel packages. If you look in the errors when you run ./configure it will probably complain about some missing program. Check if you have installed that program and if you have installed program-devel. Good luck.

arctic Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 hmm.. i am not an expert, but i think you are simply missing some c-compiler devel-packages. check your devel-package selection in mcc and add them via urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptaylor Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 How do I know what devel packages are required? I don't see anything in the config.log or on screen that tells me what is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Can you post the output of ./configure (not the log). Preferable just the bits about missing 'filexxxxxxx.h' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) configure:2302: checking for C compiler version configure:2305: i586-mandrake-linux-gnu-gcc --version </dev/null >&5 i586-mandrake-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Cooker) 3.4.1-1mdk) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I googled some and found that one of the causes of this error could be incompatible libs. It seems you have a version of gcc that is from cooker (mine is gcc-3.3.2-6mdk/ Mandrake 10) that probably doesn't like some 'older' bits on your computer. So uninstall this version of gcc and install the one from the CDs. Good luck. Edited August 22, 2004 by devries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
