[Gtkpod-questions] error when running config

[Tom J. <tju...@ya...>]

Hi:

When I try to compile from the source :
                         gtkpod-0.99.8-for-libgpod-0.4.2.tar.gz 

I get the following error when running the ./configure script

configure: error: *** id3tag >= 0.15 lib not found (0.14 will not work!)

not sure what library this is from

Im running Fedora Linux kernel version
                                            2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
Thanks in advance for assistance

You need to install libid3tag-dev >= V0.15

JCS.

You can install the needed stuff a few ways.  The first is with

$ yum install libid3tag-devel

That will get libid3tag-devel and anything it depends on.  Now, you
may find that you get other configure errors about other libraries.
You could do the same thing as above for each of them, or you could
just use

$ yum-builddep gtkpod

That will install all of the things you need to build gtkpod.  This
works because gtkpod is already available in FC6.  It doesn't work for
stuff that's not already packaged, but it still comes in quite handy
if you're just looking to compile something as a learning experience.

I'm curious though, any reason you're building from source?  The
latest release of gtkpod is already available for FC6 with a simple

$ yum install gtkpod

(I know this because I'm the maintainer of the package. :)
