Problem with pkg-config on Slackware 10.2

[movEAX_444]

I tried installing Gaim2 beta5 and got this error during ./configure:

checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for GTK... no
configure: error:

You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Gaim's
GTK+ interface. If you only want to build the console interface then
specify --disable-gtkui when running configure.

Angry because I do have GTK 2.0 installed (Gimp works..), I tried installing GTK 2.10.0. During ./configure, I got this error:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.13.0 cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met:

No package 'atk' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Looking at pkgtool -> view, I DO have the correct versions (or newer) of atk, pango and cairo installed.

What's the problem? I've been having problems like this since I first installed Slackware 10.2.

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

Since you have installed pkg-config in /usr/local, then you must set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly before running ./configure:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Thanks. That seemed to solve that problem but now I get this error, also during ./configure:

checking for dlopen... no
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for the %z format string in strftime()... yes
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... ./configure: line 24465: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:: No such file or directory
no
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error:

You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build Gaim.

/configure: line 24465: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:: No such file or directory

I guess you did a mistake when typing the export command that's why your path is looking strange. Just re-type it carefully and start over. Or if you're using csh try:

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

[movEAX_444]

Seems correct.. I've tried typing it over and over with no luck.

I tried updating GTK. I am having a problem during build.. I'm thinking if I update GTK, Gaim 2.0 beta5 will be able to compile. I am getting this error though:

One thing I want to note is that I have multiple versions of some files. For example:

Could this be causing problems? Should I remove anything before trying to build GTK 2.10.0?

I did update glib also. If I don't need to compile GTK 2.10.0, then I won't. I really just want to get Gaim 2 working. Thank you.

[movEAX_444]

I got Gaim2 beta5 to configure just by running "./configure" as "su -" (with the dash) and adding the export PKG_CONFIG_PATH line directly before the GTK test in 'configure'

$ su -
# vim configure (change posted below)
# ./configure

echo $ECHO_N "checking for GTK... $ECHO_C" >&6
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then

What does this mean? Do I have some environmental variables missing or messed up for my regular user account?

I cannot complete the build, 'make' gives me

/usr/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[movEAX_444]

I had freetype2 installed twice. There was a package installed with Slackware, which did not contain FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden because it's experimental.

I used 'locate libfreetype' and then used the command 'nm' on each version I found:

nm /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so | grep "GlyphSlot_E"
nm /usr/lib/libfreetype.so | grep "GlyphSlot_E"

The one in /usr/lib did not contain GlyphSlot_Embolden.

I added ftsynth.c to src/base/rules.mk of freetype2 and re-compiled it. I installed it twice, once in /usr/lib and another in /usr/local/lib. Gaim compiled.

http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...s&ct=clnk&cd=2

It wouldn't run, gave me 'gaim: error while loading shared libraries: libgaim.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' until I ran 'ldconfig'

Now "$ gaim" just hangs..

Here is the output of "$ gaim -d" (I remove ~/.gaim)

I had the these problems compiling Pango and the latest GIMP.
Fixing freetype did the job - I also installed the 2.3.1 and made the fix to rules. recompiled and removed the libs from /usr/local/lib.

the nm command responded correctly and compiling pango 0.16 worked and so did Gimp 2.3.14 under Slackware 11.0.


Thanks
