<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>Hey all!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>I've been trying to
install GNOME 2.4 from sources... but have been unable till now...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>To avoid a mess, I
decided to install the new GNOME packages under <TT>/opt</TT>. That meant that
the new libraries and the header files would be installed in <TT>/opt/lib</TT>
and <TT>/opt/include</TT>. So, I had to set the <I>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</I> to
<TT>/opt/lib/pkgconfig</TT> (by issuing </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3><TT>export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig</TT>) so the <I>pkgconfig</I> utility
searched <TT>/opt/lib/pkgconfig</TT> before the usual
<TT>/usr/lib/pkg-config</TT>. I had also added the line <TT>/opt/lib</TT> to
the file <TT>/etc/ld.so.conf</TT>. Moreover, the usual <TT>./configure</TT>
was replaced by <TT>./configure --prefix=/opt</TT> so the installation folder
was <TT>/opt</TT>. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>But the thing is...
when it tries to find the dependencies... it doesnt find the files I had just
installed... even tho if I check the <EM>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</EM> it gives
me the correct one I've set.... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>Its a Mdk 9.1 with
GNOME 2.2!! Since its a Fedora list... I dunno if I am sposed to</FONT> <FONT
face="Times New Roman" color=#400040 size=3>send MDK Linux related issues!!
