mblevy : 30/09/02 05:25 PM : Incident created -   I downloaded the source for the latest abiword and tried to compile it, but gcc tells me I'm missing gtk-config and glib-config. I checked my cds, and I didn't seem to have them. What happened? This is the first time I've ever tried to compile a program from source, so I'm a little disappointed that something went wrong.
Linegod_7611 : 30/09/02 07:23 PM : Reply received -   The '-config' warnings mean that you do not have the development libraries installed. Install libgtk(version)-devel and libglib(version)-devel. As a side note, Abiword is available as an RPM, so there should be no need to compile it. http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS/abiword-1.0.2- 1mdk.i586.html ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
