A compile problem

[phunni]

I'm trying to compile and install a dockapp for my fluxbox desktop (wmcalendar ) and I'm encountering problems that I can't resolve.

 

One of the dependencies mentioned in the install file is libical - this I can compile and install but I still get the following errors:

 

gcc -O2 -Wall    -pedantic `gtk-config --cflags` -I.  -DICON_TYPE= -DLinux -c dockapp.c -o dockapp.o -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include

dockapp.c: In function `dockapp_open_window':

/usr/local/lib/libical.so: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [wmCalendar] Error 1

 

I'm not sure if this is because libical isn't instaleld properly or whether there is another problem - any one able to shed any light?

[phunni]

Actually I now think it might be problem with pthread - unfortunately I can't figure out how to install it in mandrake. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can check here..

I found this by googling on

 

linux pthread rpm

 

:)

maybe is a problem with dependences between glibc and the program you are compiling, or between glibc and the compiler version you are using, or... Those pthread stuff are at glibc-devel(*); so my best bet is that there is a conflict between the version of libical you installed and the glibc version you have.

 

Well, hope it helps, because the truth is that I have no idea about the last glibc packages

I'd already checked this and it conflicts with lots of files already installed - although I don't think any pthread files were part of the conflict - is there a way of only installing those files? Would that be a good idea?

[phunni]

I have glibc-devel version 2.3.1 installed If there is a version conflict, is it likely that I would need to downgrade or upgrade? Would downgrading actually be a good idea?

[aru]

with glibc don't downgrade, always upgrade. Also on any doubt don't mess with it, is the 'core' of your system.

 

You should, instead, look to the documentation of libical to see its dependences.

Just to second aru, avoid doing anything with glibc unless you're willing to loose it all..or spend a lot of time in console fixing things. Even an upgrade can be disastrous and I believe probably the biggest cause of probs with the Upgrade option at first Install of a new Mandrake version. Anything that glibc so much as looks at had better be the right dep. Not to intimidate you or anything :P
