FC 4 gDesklets

[D@ Mick]

Hi,

I just wanted to install gDesklets on FC 4 but I get an error during ./configure:

configure: error: Library requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.4.0 pyorbit-2 >= 2.0.1 gnome-python -2.0 >= 2.6.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variabele if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them

Any help would be welcome

thx

Hi,
you need to download the pyorbit-devel package via yum. This worked for me.

Cheers

Same problem as D@ Mick, installing pyorbit-devel didn't help. I do have those 3 packages installed (pygtk, gnome-python and pyorbit). How do I tell gDesklets where they are?

I believe I followed everything but I am getting the following error after I do the following:

[root@localhost gdesklets]# ./configure

Any ideas what that means? Oh yea, i dunno if it means anything but I'm using an AMD 3200+ 64 bit processor.

Do a

yum install python-devel

and try again to configure. I think that the python developement package is no installede on your system.

Thanks skatyr but I have another hold up. I installed all the packages in the links in this thread but I guess I'm missing more? Oh yea, I'm on a 64 bit version of FC4 if that matters any.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pyorbit-2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pyorbit-2' found

ok,
as root do a

yum list py*

and makes sure you have following
packages installed


pygtk2
pygtk2-devel
pyorbit
pyorbit-devel
python
python-devel


I don't have the 64 version,but it should work there too.

Thanks skatyr once again I needed to install "pyorbit-devel" I was able to get it to install. Now it's time for configuration.

[Melio]

Ok someone give me a hint on how to configure this stuff. I mine works too as far as I know.

[yanik]

I got all these package installed, but ./configure still gives me the same error message about the 3 unmet dependencies. Do I have to reboot? I can't reboot right now, is there something I could just restart so it sees that I do have those packages installed?

Thanx

[sfboarders]

What file do you choose when you install a package? Do you choose the .display file? I am getting an invalid error message.
