Help needed with installing firestarter from source on linux mint

[rich paul fox]

Hello I am attempting to install firestarter from source on linux mint, I am able to extract the software but I am unable to configure it.
When I run ./configure it runs but I get error messages.

I would like to include more info but I have all ready tried posting but I received messages to say that I can not include urls etc until I have posted more messages.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Again sorry for scant info on problem and I will add more info when I am allowed to do so.

Thanks

Rich

Without exact error messages, then its difficult to help. Post the output of running ./configure on the forum wrapped in code tags.

Thanks a lot for your response daark.child.
Here is a copy from my terminal session.


Thanks again

Rich

You need to install libgnomeui-dev, libglade2-dev, libgnomevfs2-dev, libgtk2.0-dev. Those are the packges that ./configure showing as missing.

Hello again,
Thanks for your continued help.
I have tried again configuring after downloading the missing packages but still it is not working.

Here is a a copy of the last part of my terminal sessions.
Apologies I have tried to use code markers but this time I can not manage to get post accepted.

Is your version of libglade2 >= 2.3.6? Also would it not be quicker and easier to install from a prebuilt package for your distro?
