Re: 0.64 build can't find gnome print libraries under RH 7.1

[Mathieu Lacage <mathieu gnu org>]

hi bob

I feel pain for you :)

1) to fix the original problem, all you needed to do was to install the
gnome-print-devel rpm (its name is probably not this one but one
approaching)...

2) to fix your current problem which is to get gnumeric to use the
library you just built from tarball, you have 2 solutions. What happened
when you typed configure;make;make install is that the library was
installed in /usr/local by default.

    - so you can recompile the tarball with the --prefix=/usr option to
    configure (I would suggest rm -rf gnome-print first so that you
    avoid all problems). This is the easiest way.
    - you can get gnumeric to use the library in /usr/local. This has a
    number of issues. The main one is that you need to remove the one
    which is in /usr (the one you installed through rpm). Then, you need
    to make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains /usr/local/lib, PATH contains
    /usr/local/bin and GNOME_PATH contains /usr/local.


I hope this helps,

Mathieu
