Hi, How do I get GTK-2.0 packages to compile with suse 8.1. It really annoys me that suse never gets it setup right.
I have the gtk and gtk2 packages installed, but packages that require gtk-2.0 give an error:
Have you installed pkgconfig? i.e. what "rpm -qa | grep pkgconfig" shows? Also remember to check the gtk2-devel package.
Where is the gtk2-devel rpm , I can't find it. I have it working, now, I built the gtk2 package from scratch, and I also needed to install pkg-config from scratch. There is a gtk-devel which I had installed.
I have just compiled some packages involving gtk2 without problem.
Man this yast2 is becoming a nightmare. I needed to upgrade my curl to the latest version. So I removed the curl rpm and installed the latest curl from source. Now, everytime I install ANY software, yast2 will reinstall it's curl rpm. Which I then need to remove and then reinstall the one I have from source. I uncheck "auto-dependency-checking", but it will still install curl all on it's own, totally messing things up. yast2 has become a nightmare, I think I will be going to Slackware for my next upgrade. I can't understand why I have to leave the curl rpm "installed", and sneak behind Yast2's back to manually replace the curl libraries with my own. Talk about a time-wasting un-professional tool. It just isn't saving time anymore, it's consuming time. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
