Hi suse users and developers, Im new to linux world and since suse is offering excellent GUI support Im using SUSE 10 on my intel pc box. I am doing a bioinformatics job and so I wish to install a program "ghemical" (a molecular dynamics program from open source community). During the configuring process, it issues no gtk installed on my system and when i searched thru' YAST gtk is installed . This is the error message issued by ghemical. bio-42:/home/bala/2downloads/ghemical-gms-1.01.07 # ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for ar... /usr/bin/ar checking for sh... /bin/sh checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gtk-config... no checking for GTK - version >= 0.99.7... no *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gtk-config. configure: error: Cannot find proper gtk version bio-42:/home/bala/2downloads/ghemical-gms-1.01.07 # Could anybody shed some light over this problem.

Typically, the developer portion is not loaded on the system. Have you check to see if you have loaded the gtk developer packages. They are needed if you want to link a program with them. Bala Murugan wrote:

Run these at the command line: rpm -q gtk rpm -q gtk-config If they tell you they are not installed, then you need to install them, i.e., go to your favorite mirror, find them, download them, and install them, like so: rpm -Uhv gtk* Then try installing ghemical again. hth, ken -- "It is not knowable how long that conflict would last, it could last, you know, six days, six weeks.
