[Bookbase-help] problems installing

[Jeff M. <jbm...@su...>]

Hi there.  This looks just like something I would want to use, but I am
having a tough time starting up.

First, I'm running Debian GNU/Linux testing/woody with 3.something mysql
(just put it on this evening for this)

downloaded 0.8.8 of bookbase, unzipped it, and read the Install/Readme.
Tried the

mysql < ./bookbase_tables.sql

as myself, and it said

ERROR 1044 at line 11: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database
'bookbase'

even though I am a member of the mysql group.  odd. Admittedly I know
nothing about SQL or MySQL. Anyway, I tried it as root and it took, though
I am sure something is bad about doing that.

I then proceeded to run ./configure as root and got (last part of
messages)

configure: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?

at that point, I am stuck.  I am pretty sure I am running gtk >= 1.2, as
when I do a "locate gtk" there are plenty of things that pop up as
libgtk1.2.soemthing.  "locate gtk-config" doesn't show up on my harddrive,
and "apt-get install gtk-config" doesn't come up with anything.

Help?
