gaim cvs compilation problem

[beesea]

here's the error message from .configure:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no

*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...

*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.

configure: error:

*** GTK+ 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GTK+

*** development headers installed. The latest version of GTK+ is

*** always available at http://www.gtk.org/.

here's the section of config.log that states the error:

configure:12539: checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0

i know i have the gtk2 devel package installed. i can locate gtk.h. when i first got this error message i figured the latest commit was bad. i waited a few days, updated, and i still get this message.

 

i've successfully compiled gaim cvs numerous times in the past, anyone know why this is failing?

I had the same problem, too. Maybe go to gaim.sourceforge.net and ask them. They are usually very good about answering.

after playing around with it for a few days i finally got it to configure correctly (and compile). it seems that configure wasn't looking in the correct places for includes, which is why it complained about not finding gtk.h. so i ran configure like this:

 CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0" LIBS="-lgtk-x11-2.0" ./configure

i'm not sure how many -I flags were actually needed because i added whatever I thought would need.
