Installing gtk+ 2.6.4: Error

[hypermood]

Dear All,

I am using SUSE 9.1 Pro version, and I need to install gtk+ 2.6.4. I have
downloaded all glib.2.6.3, atk-1.9.0, pango 1.8.1, gtk+-1.6.4 from
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.6/. I have installed glib.2.6.3. When I try to
install atk, I am getting the following error (although running ./configure
does not give any error);

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory /home/yildirim/downloads/atk-1.9.0/atk-1.9.0'
Making all in atk
make[2]: Entering directory

\
&& (cmp -s xgen-gmh atkmarshal.h || cp xgen-gmh atkmarshal.h) \
&& rm -f xgen-gmh xgen-gmh~ \
&& echo timestamp > stamp-atkmarshal.h
/bin/sh: line 1: glib-genmarshal: command not found

When I try to install pango 1.8.1, I am getting the following error
(although ./configure does not give any error message)

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory /home/yildirim/downloads/atk-1.9.0/atk-1.9.0'

And because gtk+-2.6.4 needs these libraries, I cannot install it. It will
give the following configuration error:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.8.0...
Requested 'pango >= 1.8.0' but version of Pango is 1.2.5

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1
pango >= 1.8.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can
find them.

Can someone help me how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

I would leave out the 'all-recursive' and just do:

./configure
make
make install

maybe your need use this line to configure your program

./configure --prefix=/usr

so your program is installed in the /usr directory because the default prefix for the source code installation is /usr/local and the pkg-config is searching in the /usr directory

Is the glib-genmarshal program in your path? Was it even installed? Might need to check the glib installation.

this problem look almost exactly the same as mine. I'm running suse 9.2 and trying to compile gnome 2.10 (as the final result).

i had a problem with this on my laptop so i installed on my desktop to try it there, but glib doesn't seem to be adding those executables. I get no errors on install of glib, make check is all good, and the md5sum is correct.

Is there somewhere i can just manually download the files and insert them into my path manually or is there something i'm missing?

[quad341]

the files were sitting in the directory gobject of where i extracted the archive. by copying the files into /usr/bin/ everything worked fine

Well, it seems you are not the only ones that have a problem:

I have downloaded atk-1.9.0, glib-2.6.3, pkgconfig-0.15.0, gtk+-2.6.4 and pango-1.8.1, and installed every single one of the by doing

./configure
make
make check
sudo make install


on each folder, except the gtk+-2.6.4 one.

So, now, I get to that one, I do the same, and I get the following error when I do ./configure:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.8.0... Package atk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `atk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'atk' found

configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.8.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I don't have to say that in every previous install I didn't get any errors, and I have tried to do make clear and make uninstall in each of the folders and try again, but without any results.

I have Knoppix 3.7 installed (based on Debian) and I am desperate, cause a plugin for XMMS that plays wma and wmv needs gtk, and I have lots of wma/wmv files.


any help would be, well, helpful... :P


thank again,

Ok, I found a solution. I'm a complete noob to Linux, but obviously my continues selfopinionated testing turns out to work after al, lol.

You have to uninstall the old version of GTK:

Open Konsole (Or Console, dependent on whether you've got KDE or nor)

Type su, then type the root password

go to /usr/local/lib

run the following command: libtools --mode=uninstall glib[versionnumer]

after this is completed you should be able to make ATK
