#86 Papaya will not install on Fedora Core 3 from source.

[Nathan Cox]

I have tried several times to get Papaya to compile
from source, to no avail. If I download the source from
the website, ./configure will go through fine, but when
i run make (with root privs) it starts to go through
but i see errors flash by, and when it's done none of
the files have been put into usr/local, and entering
"papaya" into the command prompt just reports that
papaya doesn't exist (bash: papaya: command not found).

Running the CVS version, aclocal has errors, autoconf
generates errors, and ./configure reports that theres
no makefile present.

I would really like to get papaya running, it seems to
be by far the best client for linux, any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Same here on Gentoo when trying to install 0.96 from source.
The errors I'm getting (after a deprecation warning):

AliasEntity.cpp: In member function `virtual void
AliasEntity::apply()':
AliasEntity.cpp:326: error: `GTK_OPTION_MENU' undeclared
(first use this
function)
AliasEntity.cpp:326: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
for each function it appears in.)
AliasEntity.cpp:326: error: `gtk_option_menu_get_history'
undeclared (first use
this function)

Proceeding with the plugins, it throws errors as well:

In file included from
../include/Win32PluginAPIImplementation.h:4,
from ../include/Win32PluginAPI.h:59,

token

Are there some GTK Headers missing or something like that?
Just noticing, some lines are half-localized... Strange, but
anyway: "Fehler beim Parsen" means parse error.
"Syntaxfehler" obviously syntax error

For me to work out what's going wrong on Fedora I need the
output from trying to build from the CVS version, starting
with the aclocal stuff. I don't have a Fedora box so I'll
need your assistance to find out what's going wrong. (Also
helpful is the version number of your aclocal, autoconf and
automake.)

As for the Gentoo user. 0.96 will not compile on Gentoo. A
number of fixes have gone into the CVS version since that
release that should make compilation work. Please try the
CVS version - if you have problems with that version, please
post what you did and the output from it so I can debug.

My own system is Gentoo (albeit AMD64 Gentoo).
