FVWM: compiling with gnome support problem

[Jamie]

i've been compiling the latest devel release of fvwm2 and despite having
gnome and its libraries installed the configure script does not find
them. perhaps i need to add an option to configure to point it to
those libraries but i'm not sure as the INSTALL  INSTALL.fvwm files do
not say. 

After running configure, the relevent line reads this:

With GNOME libs support in FvwmGtk? no: Can't find working gnome-config

i'm sure i must be missing something simple, just wondering if anyone
can give me some help.

Thanks

jamie.

FvwmGtk uses GTK1.
You are unlikely to find a working version of GTK1.

You can build and use Fvwm without a working FvwmGtk.

So far, no one has expressed an interest in bringing FvwmGtk up to date.

 ah, that'll be why then. When i saw the output from configure and the
 line i posted it confused me - i thought it wasn't picking up something
 it should. 

 Not to worry and thanks for clearing that up for me. 

 Best wishes, jamie.
