Re: gEDA-user: gEDA install not detecting GTK+ on Fedora 6
Some thoughts....
* I assume you built GTK-2.10 from source. When you did ./configure,
did you set --prefix?
If not, Linux will put stuff into the /usr/local hierarchy by default.
However, Red Hat puts stuff into the /usr hierarchy, presumably
including the old GTK. Therefore, the gEDA make process can't find it,
or is finding the wrong stuff first.
Rebuild GTK-2.10 again, with ./configure --prefix=/usr or just
install from RPMs.
* What do you get when you run "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0"
(or whatever the syntactically correct command is)??
* As Wojciech says, if you are installing GTK from an RPM, make sure
you install both the gtk2 and gtk2-devel packages.
* Why not just install the gEDA stuff from RPMs using yum? I just
got an e-mail last night that the gEDA stuff is now an FC6 extra, so
the proper RPMs exist. Also, the RPMs should (knock wood) take care
of the nasty guile bug which popped up recently.
Good luck,
Stuart

Hi All,
I recently downloaded the 20061020 ISO for gEDA and am attempting to install it. The first problem I had was that I could not get the enclosed GTK+ to compile. Apparently, according to the GTK folks, it won't compile properly on Fedora 6. Okay, so I downloaded GTK+ 2.10.7 and it compiled right off.
I set up the recommended env variables before running make, but when I 'make install' gEDA, it fails:
...
checking for GTK24... no
configure: error: Cannot find gtk+ 2.4.x or later, please install gtk+
Yet, I just built (and installed) 2.10.7. Can anyone tell me how the gEDA make process detects gtk+? What does it look for to make that determination?
Thanks in Advance!
Corey.
