Hello, I'm having trouble with the deskbar applet preventing compilation of garnome-2.14.1.
I searched the mailing list archives and the most promising lead I found was: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2006-February/msg00028.html Unfortunately, while that problem was very similar to what I'm seeing, the patch they describe integrating is already in garnome-2.14.1. I believe my problem is caused because: 1. I installed a new version of Python just for garnome (e.g. --prefix= $HOME/garnome); and 2. For some reason, deskbar's configure script does not understand that completely. Here are the last few lines of the 'make install' attempt: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- checking whether /usr/bin/python version >= 2.3... yes checking for /usr/bin/python version... 2.3 checking for /usr/bin/python platform... linux2 checking for /usr/bin/python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages checking for /usr/bin/python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages checking for headers required to compile python extensions... found checking for pkg-config... /home/keith/garnome/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for DESKBAR... yes checking for python version... (cached) 2.3 checking for python platform... (cached) linux2 checking for python script directory... (cached) ${prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... (cached) ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages checking for gnomeapplet module... no configure: error: gnomeapplet module required to build deskbar make: *** [configure-work/main.d/deskbar-applet-2.14.1/configure] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The files $HOME/garnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnomeapplet.so $HOME/garnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnomeapplet.la exist. I think that means that gnomeapplet is installed in my garnome version of Python. deskbar seems to look for /usr/bin/python, ignoring the fact that $HOME/garnome/bin/python exists and is a newer version. All of the other garnome components found the correct python without any intervention by me. -- garnome-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list
