Hi, I've been trying to compile Coot and its dependancies on a 64bit Dell Precision 390 with a E6700 processor and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450 Video card running Redhat Enterprise 4. I've tried several visions of the autoinstall script, but they have all crashed without giving any sort of error message while building gtk2.
I've tried installing gtk2 and its dependancies by hand, but I'm stuck at atk-1.22.0. Not wanting to overwrite the native graphics libraries, I've compiled everything with the new libraries going in to /usr/local/lib. Pkconfig fails when I try to install atk because I have two different versions of GLIB on the machine- the original in /usr/lib64 and a newer version in /usr/local/lib. Please, please, please tell me there is an easier way to do this. 1. Is it possible to use something like yum to get all these dependancies? Are there any instructions out there for doing so? 2. Or is there some slick way to use the 32-bit binary? 3. One of the things that I am puzzled about is that none of the autoinstall scripts or the configure for COOT find the libraries that I have compiled? How do I tell them where the libraries are? 4. Does anyone have any ideas on how to safely resolve the conflict in Pkconfig so I could compile atk and continue my slow painful crawl through the dependancies. I'm not familar with setting either the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or editing /etc/ld.so.conf. checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.16.0, but GLIB (2.4.7) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: *** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of *** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed *** but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file *** glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH. 4. The final question is that this is a new machine, so I could switch the operating system fairly easily. Is there an advantage to using another version of Linux? Thanks Clare
