Chris, Your reply very succinctly clarifies the matter for me. It didn't occur to me I was developing Jpilot when I compiled it. Thanks. Ya know, it is really tough being a linux newbie. So many questions and some of them seemingly trivial, but still requiring trolling for an answer evan after reading as much documentation as I can stand. (g) Dana

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.

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".
Hope things are clearer now, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
