I'm attempting to build the monotools-server app from source. After days of hunting down missing dependencies (and in one case (xsp) having to manually modify a generated Makefile to remove a reference to a test project which requires a missing Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll, a bug which was reported over a year ago), I'm down to gtk+-2.24.

When I run the ./configure script for gtk+, I see yet more missing packages:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.27.3    atk >= 1.29.2    pango >= 1.20    cairo >= 1.6    gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.21.0) were not met:

No package 'atk' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found
No package 'gdk-pixbuf-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Okay, fine, so I download pango 1.28.4. The configure script

./configure --prefix=$HOME

runs just fine, and creates a whole mess of make files and .pc's.

When I run make, I get the error:

[slively@gpu1 pango-1.28.4]$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/lustre/users/slively/download/pango-1.28.4'
Making all in pango
make[2]: Entering directory `/lustre/users/slively/download/pango-1.28.4/pango'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/lustre/users/slively/download/pango-1.28.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[slively@gpu1 pango-1.28.4]$ 

A few things jump out at me:

First, the error:

bin/sh: line 1: ..//users/slively/lib/pkgconfig/./gobject/glib-mkenums: No such file or directory

What's up with that path?! ..//users/slively/lib/pkgconfig/./gobject/glib-mkenums? Aside from the weird ..// at the start of the path (it should be /users/slively/..., I searched my home directory for gobject and found:

[slively@gpu1 ~]$ find . -name gobject*
./bin/gobject-query
./include/glib-2.0/gobject
./include/glib-2.0/gobject/gobject.h

./lib/pkgconfig/gobject-2.0.pc
./lib/pkgconfig/gobject-2.0-uninstalled.pc
[slively@gpu1 ~]$ 

And, the only instances of glib-mkenums are in ~/bin and the donwload folder where I built glib.

[slively@gpu1 ~]$ find . -name glib-mkenums
./bin/glib-mkenums
./download/glib-2.28.6/gobject/glib-mkenums
[slively@gpu1 ~]$ 

What am I missing here? One thing I love about Windows: install = "click click, Accept."

HELP.

  • On what OS (if Linux, what distribution), and what architecture? Why aren't you installing binary packages (at least the gtk stuff should be a yum install/apt-get install/pkg_add/… away)? Apr 20, 2011 at 20:37
  • This is on Scientific Linux SL 5.5 (Boron), which seems to be derived from red hat. I don't have root access to the machine - just trying to get these items built in my home directory.

  • @David: I recommend getting the source RPMs and building them with a different installation directory (I think it's easy with rpm, but I don't remember how). Apr 20, 2011 at 20:57
  • Is the content of the RPM somehow different from the source tar ball?

  • @David: It might have patches that were needed on your distribution, and more likely and more importantly it will have a full compilation script. Apr 20, 2011 at 21:07

I had a similiar problem and after a long time of looking, I stumbled uppon the solutions which is very simple. I deleted all *uninstalled.pc files from my local pkgconfig directory. Hope it works for you too.
