Why not just use KPackage to do this ? Worked for me installing amsn on 8.0 ? Or perhaps I'm out to lunch on this one.. Lee On Thursday 08 May 2003 04:29, Chris Grainer wrote:

I am using SUSE 8.2 and I often get error messages like this when attempting to install rpm packages: I don't know where glib is and I haven't been able to find it. And if I did know where it was, I don't know how to indicate that in a command line

Install glib-devel then try again
Almost there, I think, installed glib-1.2.10-ximian.6.i386 and glib-devel-1.2.10-ximian.6.i386. Ran "rpm -i gnpan-0.13.4-0.src.rpm". And pkg-config was asked for. Installed pkgconfig-0.15.0tar.gz, "ran -i gnpan again" and got this:
checking for bind_textdomain_codeset... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.0.4 gobject-2.0 >= 2.0.4 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0.4... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.0.4 gobject-2.0 >= 2.0.4 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0.4) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40711 (%build)"
I thought I needed to get a version of glib 2.0+, but after downloading and trying to install glib2-2.2.1-1, I get this:
"linux:/home/chris/downloads # rpm -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm package glib2-2.2.1-18 (which is newer than glib2-2.2.1-1) is already installed"
I am really at a loss as what to do next.
