Struggling to install dependencies

I've been trying to compile the Screem web editor and it was literally missing about a dozen dependencies. Well, after about 40 minutes of googling and figuring out which ones I need, I've narrowed it down to two which I can't seem to find.

Can anybody help?

Thanks! :)

Hi,

1. What is your distribution and version?

2. Have you checked your distro's native software sources/repositories for a pre-packaged SCREEM?

3. Have you tried using the native package manager (yum, apt-get, etc.) to install those missing files?

Sorry, yes. I actually told myself to listmy distro and version prior to typing the message, I must have forgot.

1. F17
2. Yes
3. Yes

For instance, libgtkhtml-2.0 isn't there, however libgtkhtml-3.0 is, which I installed but it hasn't made a difference.

It's all good. The more you post questions, the better you'll get at remembering stuff like that.

I see that Fedora most recently included the gtkhtml-2.0 header files and libs (in the form of the package gtkhtml2-devel) in the 15 release. You can force install the package, as it just install a bunch of header files to /usr/include/gtkhtml-2.0/ and the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgtkhtml-2.0.pc using the rpm command. Or you unpackage the RPM and just temporarily make the files available for compilation. I tend to favor the latter, I don't introducing non-native RPMS if I can help it.

In either case, first grab the RPM:

Code:

---

cd /tmp
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/i386/os/Packages/gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686.rpm

---

If you wish to force install the RPM, as root, try:

Code:

---

rpm -ivh --nodeps gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686.rpm

---

If you wish to unpack the RPM and temporarily access the files, try:

Code:

---

rpm2cpio < gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686.rpm > gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686.cpio
mkdir gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686
cd gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686
cpio -idv < ../gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686.cpio

---

Now create symlinks (which you can remove later):

Code:

---

cd /usr/include
su -c 'ln -s /tmp/gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686/usr/include/gtkhtml-2.0'
cd /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
su -c 'ln -s /tmp/gtkhtml2-devel-2.11.1-11.fc15.i686/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgtkhtml-2.0.pc'

---

now try to compile screem again. it should now find the gtkhtml-2.0 files it needs. if it doesn't, make sure the symlinks you created are working properly.

I haven't looked at libgnome-menu yet, but hopefully it will work the same way.
