Hey all!!
I've been trying to
install GNOME 2.4 from sources... but have been unable till now...
To avoid a mess, I
decided to install the new GNOME packages under /opt. That meant that
the new libraries and the header files would be installed in /opt/lib
and /opt/include. So, I had to set the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
/opt/lib/pkgconfig (by issuing
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig) so the pkgconfig utility
searched /opt/lib/pkgconfig before the usual
/usr/lib/pkg-config. I had also added the line /opt/lib to
the file /etc/ld.so.conf. Moreover, the usual ./configure
was replaced by ./configure --prefix=/opt so the installation folder
was /opt.
But the thing is...
when it tries to find the dependencies... it doesnt find the files I had just
installed... even tho if I check the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH it gives
me the correct one I've set....
Its a Mdk 9.1 with
GNOME 2.2!! Since its a Fedora list... I dunno if I am sposed to send MDK Linux related issues!!
Pls lemme kno if its ok... and if so pls lemme kno what seems to be the
problem....
Thanks in
advance
