Re: gEDA-user: geda install SUSE 10.0

From: "Stuart Brorson" 
1.  The installer neither looks for nor installs GTK.  This is by
design.  What is the specific error message you get when the
installer barfs?

I've noticed for a lot of these linux variants, the header files are not included when something like GTK is installed. You need to install the "-devel" package that allows the compiles to run clean. Otherwise, the compiler has nothing to "#include".

For instance, for Fedora Core 5, you need to add the "gtk+-devel" (plus others) for the ./configure's to work.

2.  Are you running a KDE desktop?  The installer needs to have a
Gnome desktop.

3.  Please read the SuSE 10.0 install notes available here for
possible tips:

I am trying to install geda version 2006124.iso onto a SUSE 10.0
system. Even though I have installed gtk, gtk2 and wxgtk, the
installer says they are missing. So, it installs wxgtk but still
wants gtk. I tried to install the version of gtk that is on the
install disc but it wants XFREE86. SUSE doesn't use this program
for a whole number of reasons. I do have the SUSE substitute of
xorg-X11 series but geda doesn't seem to recognize any of these.
Other than using a different linux system, does anyone have
any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help.
