bdika : 01/01/04 07:56 PM : Incident created -   I am trying to install Abi Word from tar but I get the following error messsage when I run ./configure: checking for gtk -2.0 >= 2.0 libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 ... Package gtk -2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk -2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk -2.0' found configure: error: I have rpm installed everything that a search for this package has suggested but it is still not on my machine (at least I can't find it with a find files search). Can anyone help me get gtk -2.0.pc on my Mandrake 9.2 machine? Many thanks. Regards, Bill Dika
Linegod_7611 : 02/01/04 12:20 PM : Reply received -   Why don't you just install the abiword RPM? # su # urpmi abiword Or get it from http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586/abiword-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.html And as a note, it is most likely looking for libgtk 2.0_0-devel ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
bdika : 03/01/04 05:37 AM : More info provided -   Thanks Linegod. I didn't want to use the Mandrake rpm because I wanted some import/export filters that were not available for Mandrake. Namely pdf and pdb (palm os). These were supposed to be available in the tar file but when I finally got ./configure to work (it required installing a number of devel rpms) and installed the package the filters were not there anyway. So I installed KOffice instead. KWord has the import and export filters that I was looking for. Everything is fine now. Thanks again Linegod. Regards, Bill Dika
