    HELP: newbie compiling source code....

    I am trying to compile Captive Linux ( http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ ) from original source 1.1.5 for Fedora Core 3. Why? Because I tried the already-compiled Captive-1.1.5 for Red Hat 9 on my Fedora Core 3. The RPM installs fine and I've copied ntfs.sys & ntoskrnl.exe files to captive folder. But when I try to mount my NTFS parition it just hangs! So this is what I've done to compile Captive for FC3:

    bash-3.00# cd captive-1.1.5
    bash-3.00# ./configure
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    ... <snip>
    ... <snip>
    checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
    *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
    *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
    *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
    configure: error: Captive requires glib-2.0 library.
    bash-3.00#

    How can I check if I got glib installed? And if I do, how do I tell captive configure where it is?
    HELP!

    You probably didn't install the devel headers for glib. Install them from the devel RPMs on the Fedora Core 3 install discs.

    Eww, glib and gtk dependencies can be nasty. But yeah, you need to install glib.

    I did install glib manually by using the glib2 RPM. And I still get told that I don't have it installed????

    You might need to run ldconfig. Also glib type things are picky sometimes if you don't have the exact version they want. Best thing I think to do is download the specific version (source code), compile and install it, then run ldconfig. You can download glib from http://gtk.org.

    With command rpm -qa | grep glib[^c]

    I get:

    glib-1.2.10-15
    dbus-glib-0.22-10
    glib2-2.4.8-1.fc3

    I also installed http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/OS/Linux/...1.fc3.i386.rpm

    using rpm -ivh ...

    And when I configure I still get glib2 missing. ((

    What does ldconfig do?

    Okay. I used ldconfig and got past glib problem. Now I got:

    gnome-vfs-module-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'gnome-vfs-module-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

    WTF is pkg-config or the gnome-vfs-module and how can I add this?
