Installing gstm in SuSE 10.2

[AboveNBeyond]

Let me say first your help is much appriciated. I am running Suse 10.2 w/ gnome
Here is me delima...
I want to install and use gstm (an ssh manager)
I download the tar
I uncompress it (i think) I say think cause it shows as black text with green back ground. I ran this command "tar zxf gstm-1.2.tar.gz "
so I run ./configure
and get this...

checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (libgnomeui-2.0) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the PACKAGE_CFLAGS and PACKAGE_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.

Now I am stuck...
Do I need to install a compiler or something?

Please help, thank you.

I will give you one hint on what you need to install "Package requirements (libgnomeui-2.0) were not met."

[AboveNBeyond]

No tech_man, you think...

I appriciate your help/comment but I can read, I look in yast and I have libgnomeui 2.16.1-20-x86_64 installed. I am on a 64 bit system, do you think the app requires 32bit to be installed?? Hmmm maybe I will try and see...

** Just tried installing 32 bit version as well... NO GO. 'sigh'

[tech_man]

I am on a 64 bit system

You mean you have a 64bit processor or are you running Suse 64bit?

[AboveNBeyond]

Yes to both

[tech_man]

^^^ You are probably running into library conflicts between 32bit and 64bit. Read this, because with a 64 bit OS installing software from source and be a real pain in the ass, even some precompiled binaries will not work. I have 64bit Ubuntu installed and removed it within a week because it was an incredible pain to install software. You have no real reason running 64bit, don't. Thats my advise.

As to gstm I took a look at their website and everything seems to be in order accept for the libgnomeui. The only other thing I can think of is uninstalling and reinstalling it, and then rerunning configure. Also make sure you are running the commands as root.

Thank you for your help.

I am running 64 bit well basically cause the Suse 10.2 dvd installed it I am guessing from hardware detection. Hmm...

I am a newbie to linux and have already tested a few versions, but I seem impressed so far with Suse.

Wouldn't the performance be hurt using the 32bit??

[tech_man]

Wouldn't the performance be hurt using the 32bit??

Yes, theoretically. No, practically. In going from 64bit Ubuntu to 32bit Ubuntu, I didn't notice anything.

I know it's been a while since you asked this question so if you got it working, great. If not, I have it running on my OpenSuse 10.2 installation. You not only need the "libgnomeui 2.0" package but you also need to install "libgnomeui-devel". After installing the libgnomeui-devel package, I was able to configure and install gstm with no problems.

I hope this helps.
