trouble installing latest GTK+ 1.1.6

[Bernd Schmidt <bernd ecemail newcastle edu au>]

Hi,

I have problems installing the new  GTK+ 1.1.6

I installed glib 1.1.6 successfully in  a subdiretory of my home
directory, because I haven't got any write permissions  for /usr/local
So I used  --prefix= /home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/glib-1.1.6    as an
argument of configure, where /home/collpits2/visitors/bernd is my home
directory and glib-1.1.6 is the desired glib directory.

I changed LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/glib-1.1.6/lib
and added /home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/glib-1.1.6/bin to my path.

So far the glib installation was no problem.

Then I tried to install GTK+ 1.1.6 after rebooting my system.
I used the same configure command: configure
--prefix=/home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/gtk+-1.1.6,
where gtk+-1.1.6 is the desired gtk directory.
The configure script terminated with the following error message:
.

.

/tmp_mnt/nfs/collpits2/visitors/bernd/glib-1.1.6/bin/glib-config

But as described above glib1.1.6 is installed and LD_LIBRARY_PATH  is
set!

The contents of my directory
/home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/glib-1.1.6/lib  are as follows:

drwxr-xr-x   3 bernd    visitor      512 Dec  9 19:03 .
drwxr-xr-x  11 bernd    visitor     3072 Dec  9 18:23 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 bernd    visitor      512 Dec  9 18:23 glib
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor   458752 Dec  9 18:23
libglib-1.1.so.6.0.0
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor  1246900 Dec  9 18:23 libglib.a
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor      502 Dec  9 18:23 libglib.la
lrwxrwxrwx   1 bernd    visitor       20 Dec  9 18:23 libglib.so
->libglib-1.1.so.6.0.0
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor    57344 Dec  9 18:23
libgmodule-1.1.so.6.0.0
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor    44574 Dec  9 18:23 libgmodule.a
-rw-r--r--   1 bernd    visitor      517 Dec  9 18:23 libgmodule.la


Then I accomplished to run configure successfully by renaming
libgmodule-1.1.so.6.0.0 to libgmodule-1.1.so and by renaming
libglib-1.1.so.6.0.0 to libglib-1.1.so

But after typing 'make' thousands of warnings appeared and finally
compilation interrupted with exit 1.

Is there anybody out there who can help me?
Many thanks in advance!!!!


Bernd
