The problem is that though you have installed GTK/GLib, the pkgconfig files are not found. The best thing to do is to run a "find . -name \*.pc" and see which files match. then do an "echo $PKG_CONFIG" to see whether this variable is set and contains a colon separated list of directories; you should add the missing directories to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH directory.

 

On my cygWin environment, I have pkgconfig files in the following directories: /lib/pkgconfig /opt/gnome2/lib/pkgconfig /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Problems installing Ethereal 0.10.4 in Mandrake 9.2

Hello,

 

i need to install ethereal version 0.10.4 in my laptop. I have installed Mandrake 9.2. I'm going to write what i do and the message that appears in the screen.

 

I try to install ethereal writting:

 

./configure

 

and the next error message appear:

 

checking for gtk_config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: GLib distrosution not found

I thought that the problem was that the GTK and GLIB libraries were installed wrong. Then, i tried to install GLIB library writting:

 

./configure

make

make install

 

(i have installed glib library version 2.4.0)

 

Then, i tried to install gtk library:

 

./configure

 

and then another error message:

 

checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GLib is 2.2.3

configure: error: Librery requeriments (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them

I don't know what is the problem. I imagine that a lot of people have installed ethereal under mandrake and i hope that somebody can help me.

 

I think that these libraries are installed in my laptop but perhaps the version isn' the correct or perhaps the problem is the path and the environment variables.

 

Thank you,
