imwithstupid Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) recently i've been trying to compile several programs from source and i've been getting errors when i run the config scripts. They usually say something like cannot find X, where X is actually installed (including its libraries) and it properly in use by other programs. So far these are the programs and the libraries/components they can't find: powermated: can't find alsa...right now i'm listening to xmms with alsa so its there. http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=23143 checking for snd_mixer_open in -lasound... no configure: error: You must have ALSA Installed xmms-plugin for powermate checking for glib-config... no checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no *** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found *** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to glib-config. configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.0 not installed - please ins tall first *** TORCS: checking for X... no checking for GL/glut.h... no configure: error: Can't find GL/glut.h. Please check config.log and if you can't solve the problem send the file to eric.espie@free.fr with the subject "torcs compilation problem" These are not the only programs i have this problem with. Does anyone have any ideas or see any pattern forming? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Edited February 26, 2005 by imwithstupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 hmm... sounds weird. run "updatedb" as root in a terminal. maybe that fixes the stuff. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 have you tried reinstalling the packages that do give you unnessessary error messages with a force command already? and are you sure that you have e.g. the glib package installed? it looks as if it really ain't there imho.

imwithstupid Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) I was completely wrong. Boy do i feel foolish right now. I wasn't thinking right and forgot to look for the devel packages. Oh well. The new problem is that powermated won't compile (everything else works just fine). It spits out this error: PMDaemon.cpp: In member function `bool PMDaemon::performAction(PMDActionType, int, int*, const char*)': PMDaemon.cpp:744: internal compiler error: in optimize_mode_switching, at lcm.c:1225 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/> for instructions. make[2]: *** [PMDaemon.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/flo/Desktop/powermated-0.3.2/powermated' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flo/Desktop/powermated-0.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have contacted the developer and he said to send him the CFLAGS i was using (-g -O2) and the version of gcc i have installed (3.5) Both of us scoured google to find that there is a possible bug in the mandrake 10.1 compile of gcc. How should I go about fixing this? (also mods, should this be a new post?) Edited February 25, 2005 by imwithstupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imwithstupid Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Problem pretty much solved! I removed all gcc versions on my computer. Then i reinstalled and tried each one. Things only seemed to compile with 3.4 for some reason. However, ver 0.3.2 of powermated wouldn't compile the xmms portion for some reason. So I compiled 0.3.1 which worked quite well with the exception of not being able to use the beep library stuff to have the led pulse to the music (luckily i don't want to do that anyways) I would also like to say that the developer of this software was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. He is exactly what we love about the open source community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
