gEDA-user: geda-20050313 will not compile (newbie glib/gtk problem?)

[Alex Miller <alexbmiller@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I have been trying to build geda-20050313 from source, and I
believe I have all dependencies installed.  When I run ./configure
I get the following:


[snip]

** Configuration summary for geda 20050313:


   GLIB library version:             2.4.8

   GTK+ library version:             2.6.4
   mingw
build:                     
no

   dmalloc debugging:                no

   ElectricFence debugging:          no


However, I am using the Ubuntu distribution, and according to Synaptic
Package Manager the installed version of libglib2.0-0 is 2.6.3-1. 
Here is the error I get when running "make install":


In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:31,

                 from callbacks.c:28:

make[1]: *** [callbacks.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/geda-latest/geda

-20050313/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Also, I am using the examples given (by "make" in the cvs version) for environment variables...

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/root/geda/bin:${PATH}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/root/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

So it is also worth noting that I tried the cvs version, and after making a minor change (removed "documentation" from dependencies, as I saw in the archive for this list) I am stumped with the following (similar) error:

In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:114,

Please let me know if there is a solution.  I have not yet installed gEDA and am looking forward to it very much.

Thanks,
Alex
