Lobster says gtk no --- I say gtk yes

Seeing I could not find a rpm, I tried to compile Lobster 1.2.0 source and got this:

 

checking for gtk-config... no

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no

*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found

*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the

*** full path to gtk-config.

configure: error: GTK is required!

[root@localhost lopster-1.2.0]#

 

But I do have gtk> 1.2.0 installed and running?

 

[root@localhost scoopy]# rpm -qa | grep gtk

gtk+2.0-2.0.6-8mdk

libgtkhtml2_0-2.0.1-1mdk

libgtk+-x11-2.0_0-2.0.6-8mdk

libgtk+2.0_0-2.0.6-8mdk

 

Where would I enter the full path to gtk-config and where do I locate this gtk-config file in my LM 9.0 system?

 

thanks

Well, you can find out where it is with

sh-2.05b$ which gtk-config

/usr/bin/gtk-config

or

sh-2.05b$ whereis gtk-config

gtk-config: /usr/bin/gtk-config /usr/man/man1/gtk-config.1

 

as far as checking your version and path, just do

 

sh-2.05b$ gtk-config --version

1.2.10

sh-2.05b$ gtk-config --prefix

/usr

 

This is just general, I don't see why it wouldn't be finding it....

thanks for the quick reply and those tips qnr, I get gtk-config: command not found

 

My next hunch was what beesea suggests, which I am working on. I am trying to find the dev package that goes with it, but more problems, I lose my connection, and rpmfind is overloaded at this time.

 

I'll let you know how I make out with the dev packages asap.

Not having any luck here.

 

The only mandrake gtk dev rpm I can find is libgtk+2.0_0-devel-2.0.6-8mdk and I get the same messages as above after installing it.

 

RPMfind.net only shows PLD's gtk+2-devel-2.1.0-0.i686.rpm

but it wanted its own gtk+2 plus a doc rpms. Figured I better not do this.

 

Maybe I should stick with the Donkey--- Nah, gotta keep trying now.

that's because gtk2 isn't compatible with gtk1.2. you'll need the 1.2 devel package and i'm positive its on one of your cds. just keep looking and you'll find it

Thanks beesea, that did it. (and was on cd 2, along with libglib 1.2-dev-1.2.10-6mdk , which was also needed)

 

From what I saw there were files from both gtk and gtk 2 on my system. I knew gtk was running fine seeing that the gimp works, and I was thinking the version 2 was installed over a version 1, but I guess this is 2 separate gtk's running independant which led to the confusion.
