Hi,

 

I'm trying to install gtk+-2.10.14 on RHEL 4.

 

When running ./configure

I get the following error message.

 

"error: X development libraries not found"

 

I'm kindof new at this installation stuff and linux. I've spent quite a bit of time searching the internet and my system for X development libraries without success but, quite frankly don't really know what I'm looking for.

 

 

How would I find out if these are actually on my system and ./configure just can't find them?

Or/And

Where would I get these so I can install them?

 

Thanks much in advance, Case

Hi,

The libraries you are looking for are part of the rpm package xorg-x11-devel

If you've already configured yum, do the following as root (IIRC red hat repositories have the package)
#yum install xorg-x11-devel

alternatively you can download it from the web.
A good resource to search is http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=xorg-x11-devel
 (I can't vouch for these packages as I did not build them).
Generally FC3 packages can be installed on RHEL4 without too many issues. 

If the packages are already installed and ./configure still doesn't work then I can't really help you.
