[Etherape-users] RE: Problems Installing LibGlade (EtherApe Requirement)

[Patrick Best-TM <Pat...@te...>]

Thanks James; 

I thought I did remove the old gettext versions.   OK, so V2 of libglade
should be installed with Gnome 2 Beta 1... ok.  I'll take a look around at
that. 

Well damned... I guess I should be clear to install the Etherape app then!
(my spidey sense is telling me it's not gonna be that easy.) and sure
enough... it's not. 

This may be getting out of your scope James, but I'll keep cc'ing you if you
like.

OK, ATTN ETHERAPE USERS!!!

Let's start with first things first. 
bash-2.05# cd etherape-0.8.2
bash-2.05# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... missing
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by
gnome-libs install


Yikes.  LibGlade complained about that too... and yet, I am running gnome2.
Gonna do a disk wide search for the shell script it's mentioning ... no sign
of it.

bash-2.05# find / | grep gnomeConf

any ideas anyone?

Hmm.  I didn't realise that you were trying to compile libglade-0.17.  I 
assumed that since you said you had gnome 2.0 that you would be talking 
about libglade-2.0 (which is already installed on your system if you 
have gnome2).

To compile the previous stable version, you need gtk+ 1.2 (which you 
seem to have) and libxml-1.x (not 2.x).  If you want gnome support in 
the old libglade, you will need gnome-libs-1.x (and its dependencies). 
 For the gettext problem, you may need to adjust your path so that the 
GNU gettext utilities (xgettext, etc) get found before the solaris versions.

James.
