Linux audio savants: I have a trivial newbie question. I have Mandrake Linux 8.1 on my P4 machine, and I've downloaded GLIB 1.2.10 and GTK+1.2.10 into two directories on my machine, like so:
[bob@localhost bob]$ ls autosave/ Desktop/ log.txt Mandrake/ music/ tmp/ [bob@localhost bob]$ cd music [bob@localhost bob]$ ls glib/ gtk/ Then I go into glib, I gunzip, tar --extract, and then ./configure. Everything seems to go ok, no errors or warnings. So I cd to gtk, gunzip, tar, ./configure, and get this error message: "checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.8 ... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occurred. This usually means GLIB was incorrectly installed *** or that you have moved GLIB since it was installed. In the latter case, you *** may want to edit the glib-config script: /home/bob/music/glib/glib-1.2.10/glib-config" I open glib-config and see this: ... prefix=/usr/local ... Which is the only path-like thing I recognize. Yes, there's a /lib on that path but there's nothing in it. Should glib's glib-config have put something there? Any help much appreciated. Seems like the tutorials all begin AFTER succeeding at this stuff! -BobC
