Hi everyone, I was originally trying to build gnumeric for python, but that isn't working at the moment(using this page: http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/doc/sect-extending-python-install.shtml) as jean told me on irc.
However, I wanted a look around anyway(since I'd like to volunteer for testing), so I installed libgsf and then found I need gtk-doc, which I also installed, however, it could not find a file called gtk-doc.m4 which resides in the /usr/share/aclocal directory. I found this quick fix instruction and followed it: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-February/032035.html and then it moved on, but got stuck again. Since this time it requires a few things I'm really not sure of, I thought I'd better ask, because this looked like I'm doing the wrong thing or perhaps haven't installed something I should have first. Here is the output from the ./autogen command for goffice: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/etc/gconf/schemas checking for autoconf >= 2.54... testing autoconf2.50... not found. testing autoconf... found 2.65 checking for automake >= 1.9.0... testing automake-1.11... found 1.11.1 checking for libtool >= 1.4.3... testing libtoolize... found 2.2.6b checking for glib-gettext >= 2.2.0... testing glib-gettextize... found 2.24.1 checking for intltool >= 0.27.2... testing intltoolize... found 0.41.0 checking for pkg-config >= 0.14.0... testing pkg-config... found 0.22 checking for gtk-doc >= 1.0... testing gtkdocize... found 1.6 checking for gnome-common >= 2.3.0... testing gnome-doc-common... found 2.28.0 Checking for required M4 macros...

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables surfaces_CFLAGS and surfaces_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. ---------------- thanks for any advice, parlourpachyderm _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
