[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Problem with installing ogre

[Vaibhav G. <vai...@gm...>]

*hi everybody

I have a small problem. I have installed all the pre-requisites for gazebo
0.8 except ogre. I am using zziplib-0.13.49 & ogre-linux_osx-v1-4-6. While
configuring ogre I get an error stating:*

OGRE (in install)
checking for ZZIPLIB_CFLAGS...
checking for ZZIPLIB_LIBS...
configure: error: Package requirements (zziplib) 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 ZZIPLIB_CFLAGS and ZZIPLIB_LIBS environment
variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.





*I looked at the ZZLIB documentation and it said:*

There is currently an autoconf macro installed along into the usual
/usr/share/aclocal space for making it easier for you to pick up the
configure-time cflags/libs needed to build/link with zziplib. In any way it
does look like this:

  dnl PKG_CHECK_ZZIPLIB(ZSTUFF, min-version, action-if, action-not)
  AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_ZZIPLIB],[dnl
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES([$1], [zziplib $2], [$3], [$4])])


You are strongly advised to take advantage of the pkgconfig's macro directly
- you can find the macro in /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 and it allows to
combine the flags of a list of library modules that you want to have. If it
is only zziplib, than you could simply use this in your configure.ac:

  PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ZZIP],[zziplib >= 0.10.75])


which will provide you with two autoconf/automake variables named
ZZIP_CFLAGS and ZZIP_LIBS respectivly.




*I have installed everything on default locations. I have tried putting the
following statement in the configure.in file of ogre but to no avail.
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ZZIP],[zziplib >= 0.10.75])*

*Could somebody please help me out.

Cheers
Vaibhav*
