Edd Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 When I run ./configure for beep media player, I get the following error: configure: error: Cannot find X11 headers/libraries I do understand that it is missing the X11 bit but I can't find/am unsure what it is I need to get hold of to satisfy the installer. Does anyone know what file I need? Thanks :) [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 It can not find the X11 header files (if you didn't have the libraries you wouldn't been able to use X :) ). You need to install the devel packages for X: urpmi libxorg-devel. Search the board for more information about devel packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I just downloaded this file: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...k.i586.rpm.html It claims everything is already installed. What's wrong? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 You downloaded a source rpm (forget what a source rpm is. You won't need it) and not the devel rpm. :) And read the faqs for urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 You downloaded a source rpm (forget what a source rpm is. You won't need it) and not the devel rpm. :) And read the faqs for urpmi. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read the stuff about urpmi as you said and I added some more things etc. Buuuut I am still having problems installing Beep. On an upside, the X11 problem is solved, my new problem (and this problem seems to crop up during other installations) is a lack of gtk+2 - Let me paste in the error I get when I "./configure" beep media player: checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gthread-2.0 pango... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found configure: error: Cannot find glib2/gtk2/pango I've looked and looked for something that fulfills what it requires but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me sort this problem? Thanks so much :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' That file is in libgtk+2.0_0-devel-2.6.4-2mdk.i586.rpm. Hint: if the error says something is missing install the missing something :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
