Andrewski Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Hi, I'm getting a bit frustrated [understatement]. I'm trying to install bug-buddy so I can report a bug in Ximian Evolution, but I can't get it to work. I went straight to ftp.gnome.org to get the latest gz, bug-buddy-2.3.3.tar.gz, but when I "./configure" (as it tells me to do), I get the following error: checking for bonobo-activation-2.0 >= 1.0.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libbonobo-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnome-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.1.0 libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.6 ... Package bonobo-activation-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `bonobo-activation-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'bonobo-activation-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements ( bonobo-activation-2.0 >= 1.0.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libbonobo-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnome-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.1.0 libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.6 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. OK, so I "rpm -qa | grep bonobo" and get the following: libbonobo-activation4-2.2.1-2mdk libbonoboui2_0-2.2.0-1mdk bonobo-1.0.22-2mdk libbonobo2_0-2.2.0-1mdk libbonobo-2.2.0-1mdk libbonoboui-2.2.0-1mdk libbonobo2-1.0.22-2mdk libbonobo-conf0-0.16-1mdk bonobo-activation-2.2.1-2mdk bonobo-conf-0.16-1mdk Wow, my bonobo is newer than what it's asking for! There should be no problem. Nevertheless, there it is, in black and white... well, that's because my terminal settings are default. But whatever. Any thoughts about how to get bug-buddy to install? I feel like there's a lesson here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 What it's probably looking for is libbonobo-activation4-devel package. You might want to look on your Mandrake CD's for a libbonobo-devel package of some time and install it. Here's a libbonobo-activation-devel package. Here Install this and see if it works.

Andrewski Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Emh, thanks, but I already have that installed. It's in my rpm -qa list (first one). That's why I'm confused.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud_crow Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 hey, well, whats in your first line is this: libbonobo-activation4-2.2.1-2mdk and what the link from emh points to is this: .../libbonobo-activation4-devel-2.2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm as you see, de -devel- part is missing in your library. this means you dont have the development library. try it out. it may work. cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 No, you have just the libbonobo-activation package, not the libbonobo-activation-DEVEL package, that's an entirely different RPM. The link I gave you was to the libbonobo-activation-DEVEL package. Mandrake has several packages that have "devel" at the end of them. These are used for compiling programs. What your program is looking for when it asks for libbonobo-activation, it's actually looking for the libbonob-activation-devel package. So try installing this and see what happens.

emh Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 And it looks like sud_crow and I posted simultaneously, but at least we agree. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
