    Installing programs to the correct path

    New Slack user here. I choose Slack because the point and click of linux was getting boring and I wanted to learn how to really use the OS.

    Here is my dilema. I was installing Kompose for KDE and after running config I got a message saying that I needed to install imlib since it was one of the dependencies. Easy enough but here is the problem I am running in to.

    After untarring I run configure and get the following message.

    Code:
    *** The imlib2-config script installed by imlib2 could not be found
*** If imlib2 was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the IMLIB2_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to imlib2-config.
configure: error: Imlib2 not found
bash-2.05b$
    Okay my noob guess is that I need to include a(n) tag/option at the end of the ./configure. If this is right what is that tag/option and what exactly is PATH?

    Thanks in advance

    Maybe I should also throw in the fact that I download all my programs to my /home/programs directory and that I tar / configure / make / and make install from there.

    can you post the output of

    Code:
    echo $PREFIX
    (we are viewing the content of the prfix variable to see where this file was installed, so we can use the absolute filename to install it)

    no output for
    Code:
    echo $PREFIX
    follows is the out for $PATH

    Code:
    bash-2.05b$ echo $PREFIX

bash-2.05b$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.bash-2.05b$

    Try this...

    I also was trying to install Kompose on Fedora Core 3 and i got the same error.
    I've fixed the problem installing "imlib2-devel" rpm for my distro.

    Hope this works for you too!
