Re: [Xlog-discussion] RPM search

[Karl F. Larsen]

   Hi Tomi, I was unable to get either of your instructions to work on 
my Fedora 4 computer. Here are the error messages I get:

^

Perhaps you should add the directory containing Gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libgnomeprint-2.2)
were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
                                                                                 

Alternatively you may set the PACKAGE_CFLAGS and PACKAGE_LIBS environment
variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.

   It is obvious I am exactly where I was. I cannot configure the 
tarball for Xlog 1.1.3 and I cannot get the devel files from the 
Internet. If your able to do that part pehaps my version of FC4 is not 
installed properly. I am on a fast DSL Internet and it did try to get 
the desired files but it failed.
   The Xlog tar ball will not ./configure on my computer, period. There 
are at least the error above and there is some gtk in /etc/ but the 
system can't find it.
