bamboo_spider Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I downloaded evolution 2.0.4 tar.gz file and did the following tar -xzvf "filename" changed to appropriate directory and did ./configure then tried running make it gave me an error saying that no target could be found I repeated the process again and got yet another error message added on saying that "package atk was not found in the pkg-config search path - perhaps you should add the directory containing atk-pc to the PKG_CONFIG_PAH environment variable No Package 'atk' found So what do I do now I need this version of evolution because I need to get all my data from my previous evolution on Fedora Core 3 and I tried using the evolution already on board but I guess this one is a version older than the one I was using previously. thanks bamboo I am still a newbie Moved from Software to Terminal Shell Commands, Kernel and Programming - Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 you need to install the libatk devel package - it'll be called libatk-devel, or libatk1-devel or something like that. Use rpmdrake to search for it. However, building something as big as Evolution is likely to be a world of hurt. I'd suggest trying the hacky solutions first. Just copy the .evolution directory from your old system to your new one, and make sure it's owned by your new user. I copy .evolution directories around all the time, it's dirty but it works usually. If it doesn't, you can just rm -rf it. Which MDK do you use, and what version of Evolution does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboo_spider Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I tried the instal of he libatk but now its showing that i need libhtml ..... which I don't have and is not on the Mdk DVD's so I tried copying making sure the .evolution folder from my back ups - but that too does not work - now what the evolution thats on the mdk 10.1 is 2.0.1 - I was using fedora Core 3 evolution and do not remember what it was ONE FINAL question: was thinking of uninstalling evolution and reinstalling it - but I cannot find evolution on the package list in the dvd to instal so what should I do now regards bamboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
