Pepse Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Because I've had a lot of problems I went to XCDROASTs web and downloaded the latest tar.gz file as well as the latest cdrtools file. Well I untarred the cdrtools file and it went good, and then I untarred the XCDRoast and after untarring and doing "./configure" I got an error at the bottom that states: Checking for gdk -pixbuf -config...no Checking for GDK_PIXBUF - version >= 0.8.0...no ***The gdk-pixbuf-config script installed by GDK_PIXBUF could not be found ***If GDK_PIXBUF was installed in PREFIX, make sure the PREFIX/bin is in ***your path, or set the GDK_PIXBUF_CONFIG environment variable to the ***full path to gdk-pixbuf-config. configure: error: Test for gdk_pixbuf failed. See the file INSTALL for help. Well, I did "install --help" and couldn't really understand what was going on so I decided to do a Google search and after going through the first 12 or so pages the only thing I definately understood is that I apparently need GDK_PIXBUF 0.8.0 devel for Mandrake. The only ones I could find are ones for Mandrake 8.1. Do I really need this file?? If so, does anyone know where I can get the Mandrake 9.0 file??

bvc Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Mandrake-9.0 [bvc@localhost bvc]$ urpmf gdk-pixbuf-configlibgdk-pixbuf2-devel:/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-config [bvc@localhost bvc]$ install libgdk-pixbuf2-devel with urpmi libgdk-pixbuf2-devel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted April 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 OK, I did the first line you quoted and mine showed up the same. But, when I did "urpmi libgdk-pixbuf2-devel" I got a "bash: urpmi: command not found" . What did I miss?? Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 did you su to root first? If I remember correctly, you need to be root to run urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted April 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Thanx, that worked. I was just going by bvc's picture and there was no mention of going "root" . OK, now that I have gdk-pixbuf installed do I "./configure" XCDRoast again or do I just go to "make" then SU to "root" and "make install" ?? Later. Pepse.

May help ./configure and make find deps. After install if nothing works run ldconfig -v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepse Posted April 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I don't know if "k3b" works. One reason I downloaded the latest file is because XCDroast wasn't working at all; I get a WARNING: No root configuration file found or not readable! The SU must start and configure blah, blah, blah. So, now my problem is that when I finished the things that bvc mentioned I went out of console and now I can't get back to xcdroast to "make clean". I changed to the tmp directory where the downloaded file is and went to cd to the downloaded tar file and apparently it isn't there because I get an error of "no such file or directory". Is it possible that because of the error it didn't put it in usr/lib or where ever?? When I go to the tmp dir where I downloaded the file that file as well as the un-tarred file are in there but I just can't seem to access it. Later. Pepse.

bvc Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I don't know if "k3b" works. One reason I downloaded the latest file is because XCDroast wasn't working at all This is from the Home page Standard warning: Don't use the versions of X-CD-Roast that are shipped with RedHat, SuSE and all others. All their packages are long outdated and do not work correctly on current computers. (Yes, even RedHat 8.1 beta ships with a broken version that is 18 month old.) Don't bother to write a bug report from old versions - chances are very high that there are no problems with the current release available here. I get a WARNING: No root configuration file found or not readable! The SU must start and configure blah, blah, blah.That's not an error...every user gets that until root says/activates that users can use it. As for not finding the extracted source...I have no idea???? Did it install ok?...or not? I assume not since you're trying to make clean again. Sometimes it's best to delete a dirty source tree and start over by extracting the tarball all over again...starting fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted April 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Strange, I posted last night but it didn't come up on this page. Well anyway, everything is installed and XCDRoast still won't work. I get the same error as before: You have to log in as the root user the first time and start XCDROAST to enable it's non-root mode etc., etc. The screen that came up is the newest Alpha 13, if that helps.

bvc Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Like I said, that's not an error, you have to go into the preferences as root and add users that can use xcdroast. If you added users and are gettting that message then yes, it's an error. Is this the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted April 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I have to go into preferences. Dumb question but how do I get there to make the additions?? Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Get to a command line and switch to root. Run xcdroast and do the setup option. Someplace in there is the option to set the users. After that you can run it as a normal user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted April 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 I did that and got an error pertaining to the wrong version of cdrecord (cdrtools??). I downloaded and compiled? cdrtools-2.0. Should I redo it?? Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
