Hi Heidi,

why don't you just install the latest binary distribution? That's much less hassle ... just go to http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/software/binaries/nightlies/pre-release/ and grab e.g.
coot-0.5-pre-1-revision-1003-binary-Linux-i386-fedora-5.tar.gz

(Fedora 6 corresponds to RHEL5, thus Fedora 5 binaries are OK)

Then un-tar it under /usr/local/src, and establish a symlink (ln -s) between /usr/local/bin/coot and the bin/coot of the freshly unpacked distribution.

If you then run coot, and the loader complains that a certain library is missing, just ask
yum whatprovides <thatlibrary>
and install the library, again using yum.

HTH,

Kay

Hi All,
I'm not a systems administrator ? I just play one at work. Can someone help me over these hurdles installing the newest version of coot.

Coot requires the following:
1) C++ compiler ? okay got that
2) gtk+(1.2) ?requires:
a) at least Glib 2.12 ? I think the problem is here, I successfully installed 2.16.3 but.....
                glib required newer pgk-config ? okay got that
now glib appears to install okay, puts a directory in /usr/local/lib
        b)Pango 1.13 ? okay got that
        c)ATK 1.9 ? problems starts here.
                During ./configure it gives the following:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.16.3, but GLIB (2.4.7)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best

no configure: error:

1)I ran ldconfig but this didn't do anything. I have no idea how one would edit the ld.so.conf file. 2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Linux-bubbles/lib:/home/local/LINUX//ccp4-6.0.2/lib:/ usr/local/Linux-bubbles/lib:/home/local/LINUX//ccp4-6.0.2/lib:/home/local/LINUX/ /ccp4-6.0.2/extralib:/home/local/LINUX//ccp4-6.0.2/extralib

?extralib doesn't exist anyway and /ccp4-6.0.2/lib doesn't have a glib file. There is a glib directory in the /linux-bubbles/lib but it says version 1.2.10 not 2.4.7

3)I'm using REDHAT 5. I'm sitting at a desktop box but installing everything into /usr/local on our server.

Where do I look for this old version of glib and will it be okay to delete it? I'm worried I'm running into versions that are loaded on the desktop and not on the server, but I can't find them.

Sorry I'm so linux library illterate
Heidi
