Midnight Commander

[Sam Owens]

I've been trying to install this on Redhat 8 and met with a few
problems initially that weren't that difficult to overcome. The
install presents me with this:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
checking for glib-config... no
checking for glib12-config... no
checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.6... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: Test for glib failed.
GNU Midnight Commander requires glib 1.2.6 or above.


I need some help, please. Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

I have RH 9, my .configure gave this:

+-----
checking for glib-2.0... yes
checking GLIB_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
checking GLIB_LIBS... -lglib-2.0
+-----

So finding which pkg with one random file in that dir:

$ rpm -qf /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h
glib2-devel-2.2.1-1

$ which glib-config
/usr/bin/glib-config

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/glib-config
glib-devel-1.2.10-10

So you need...

$ rpm -qa |grep glib
glib-1.2.10-10
glib-devel-1.2.10-10
glib2-2.2.1-1
glib2-devel-2.2.1-1
....

....the above 4 pkgs.
