Need help installing Danpei (GTK+ app)

[Crashdamage]

Found a very cool little image viewer called Danpei that seems like exactly what I've been looking for. No pre-built rpm available, only danpei-2.9.1-1.src.rpm, so I downloaded that and did:

 

# rpm --rebuild danpei-2.9.1-1.src.rpm

 

which starts and runs along fine 'til near the end, then it exits with this error:

 

checking for gtk-config... no

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.6... 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+ >= 1.2.6 not found.

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82282 (%build)

 

As a side note, working from the tarball with:

$ ./configure; make

gives the same error.

 

Anyway I know I have GTK libraries installed (Gnome 1.4, Gimp, other GTK stuff) but no package specifically called GTK+*.*.*-*, so to try and satisfy things I download gtk+-1.2.8-6.1mdk.i586.rpm and try this:

 

# rpm -ivh --test gtk+-1.2.8-6.1mdk.i586.rpm

 

but that gives numerous conflicts with libgtk+ such as:

 

file /etc/gtk/gtkrc.bg from install of gtk+-1.2.8-6.1mdk conflicts with file from package libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-25mdk

file /etc/gtk/gtkrc.ja from install of gtk+-1.2.8-6.1mdk conflicts with file from package libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-25mdk (etc,etc...ends with)

file /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 from install of gtk+-1.2.8-6.1mdk conflicts with file from package libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-25mdk

 

 

 

At this point I'm kinda stuck 'cause this is getting beyond what limited Linux knowledge my weak mind has soaked up so far. Can anyone tell me how I can install this?

[aru]

~$ rpm -ql libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-14mdk | grep grk-config

/usr/bin/gtk-config

/usr/share/doc/libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10/gtk-config.txt

/usr/share/man/man1/gtk-config.1.bz2

~$

 

Install the devel version of libgtk+ :D

 

Usually the stuff needed for compiling goes into foo-devel.rpm packages

 

if you are one of those who like urpmi, then run next time:

urpmf missing_file_name

Thanks, aru!

 

Installed libgtk+1.2-devel-****** and that got me past the GTK+ error, but then I ran into another package error for libgdk-pixbuf, and trying to install that ran into another bunch of dependencies...ARRRGGHH! For some reason I could not get Software Manager to install all the necessary packages, itjust kept giving errors. But everything's ok, 'cause I just found the packages I needed on the MDK CDs, copied them to a working directory and carefully installed each in order manually, first with:

 

rpm -ivh --test <package>

 

then without --test. After that, rpm --rebuild danpei-2.9.1-1.src.rpm completed sucessfully.

 

Problem was, I didn't know what to do next. I thought I would have a finished rpm in my working directory to install, but no. So after some reading of rpm how-tos again, I still didn't get it and I'd been fooling with this for hours by now. Screw it, I just did

 

#make install

 

and all is well. Nothing broke,a nd Danpei runs perfect. Great little app, Danpei, I'm tickle pink. It was worth the effort.

 

But I still wanna know - for the next time I use a .src.rpm - what should I have done after compiling with

$ rpm --rebuild danpei-2.9.1-1.src.rpm?

[bvc]

First, use

rpmbuild --rebuild

which is the rpm-build pkg.

 

rpm --rebuild can cause probs and is outdated....rpmbuild is the new way :wink:

 

When finished, look up about 10 or so lines for;

Wrote: /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/ixxx/pkg_name-x.x.x-bla-bla

 

Then you can

rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/ixxx/pkg_name-x.x.x-bla-bla

or

cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/ixxx/

rpm -ivh pkg_name-x.x.x-bla-bla

Ahhh...found it! I was looking in /usr/src/RPM/BUILD. Shoulda had a little more patience and kept looking. Well, I'll have it ready whenever I do a reinstall. I'll use the rpmbuild --rebuild command next time I use a .src.rpm, too.

 

Slowly, slowly, I'm gettin' the hang of some of this stuff...

 

Thanks for the help!
