Re: [SLE] JPilot and GTK

Someone asked me if glibdev and gtkdev are installed. The answer is no. Those are development packages and I did not think I needed them. Those packages contain the glib.config and gtk.config. So... development packages often (?) contain various files that are needed to run programs produced in the particular development environment? I had thought that development packages simply included the tools needed for creating programs, in this case with gtk and glib. So it appears I need to install glibdev and gtkdev. I might add I saw no mention of this in any documentation I read regarding jpilot or pilot-link... unless when prerequisites of glib and gtk are mentioned, the correspoding development packages are assumed to be part of the normal installation. ???

No knucklehead question, just a good one. You need to run configure as whatever user you are and not root. Then the libs that are included in /urr/local/? are found is my guess. Due to already running ./configure once, delete the jpilot directory and re-decompress again.

Another knucklhead newbie question. Where does a routine SuSE 6.4 istallation put gtk and glib ? I want to try JPilot with my Visor PDA and intitially simply installed an rpm file and the program ran. But it did not have the Expenses plugin which was available in source code.

So I unistalled JPilot grabbed the source code and ran ./configure

It reported "gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found... if istalled in PREFIX be sure PREFIX/bin is in your path... or set GTK_CONFIG environment to full patch of gtk.config"

"GTK >=1.20 is not installed"

Okay, Yast tells me that glib and gtk are installed, versions 1.2.7 I could not find gtk-config anywhere, for whatever reason. This is my first attempt to compile from source and I really don't know what I am doing,nor what I have done improperly "so far".
