griptypethyne Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I am trying to compile gimp 2.2 and am having trouble installing pango. I have determined that I need to install glib 2.4.8 pango 1.4.0 atk gtk+ 2.4 I have installed glib and atk. After much frustration trying to get pango ./configure to run (it reported the wrong version of glib) I discovered that I needed to enter export PKG_CONFIG_PASTH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib The problem I now have is that when I enter make I get the following errors: /pango-1.4.1/pango/.libs/libpangoft2-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_type_instance_get_private' /pango-1.4.1/pango/.libs/libpangoft2-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_type_class_add_private' /pango-1.4.1/pango/.libs/libpango-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_unichar_get_mirror_char' If I had the wrong versions of these libraries I assume that ./configure would have detected the problem. Hence I do not know what to do next. FWIIW: Mandrake 9.2 gcc 3.3.1 kernel 2.4.22-10mdk Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Do not install these they will *break* your system. Wait for the appropriate RPMs to come out. iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trev Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Surely the RPMs just install these packages. How will building from source "break" the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 maybe because pango is one of those pkg that requires the right configure options to be passed...more than just ./configure or ./configure --prefix=/usr it's not a nice pkg ever do Ctrl+Alt+F1 and see a lot of pango errors? why not rpms or even src.rpms? At least the mandrake src.rpms with already have the right configure options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trev Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 maybe because pango is one of those pkg that requires the right configure options to be passed... In that case, all it needs is someone to say what the options are. it's not a nice pkgever do Ctrl+Alt+F1 and see a lot of pango errors? No. Ctrl+Alt+F1 is always a log-in screen for me. Not saying you're wrong, just saying I've not seen any pango errors. why not rpms or even src.rpms? At least the mandrake src.rpms with already have the right configure options. I'm sure RPMs are great but they're not out yet are they?? Hence people trying to build from source. And aren't RPM's made by building from source anyway? Why don't people just help others learn how to build the packages from source, rather than leaving people in the dark. Just wondering, and this topic is in the "Advanced topics" category after all.
