Hi gtk users developpers,
Iam new to LINUX and I am using suse 10 in my intel based box. I wish
to install a molecular dynamics program ghemica (from open source
community) I got the following error:
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: Cannot find proper gtk version
first of all this is not a question regarding Gtk... You better ask
such a question on a linux forum.... simply because you will get much
more help and much faster.... In a few words if you are coming from
windows.... then you would have probably heard about the registry....
Well, let's say for a minute that Linux has such a registry as well,
but has nothing to do with the windows one.... This is simply a file
that tells your system where to find some things.... This registry
depends on your shell (yes that thing that looks like a dos command
line). Let's say for a min that you are using a bash shell... Then you
should have a .bashrc file, .bash_history, maybe a .bash_profile,
etc... Have a look at them and probably you want to edit the .bashrc.
You need to set some environment variables.
So for example the warning saying to add PREFIX/bin would be and assume
that your prefix (ie the path you installed gtk) is: /home/foo/gtk/bin.
You shoudl add to your "registry" file the following:
PATH=$PATH:/home/foo/gtk/bin
and then either "resource" the file
$ source <filename>
or close down the shell and open a new one....
Similary you need to setup the other environment variables such as the
CPATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY, and maybe some
others needed by your program. Better if you post your questions to a
linux forum (eg.
www.linuxquestions.org OR
www.linuxforum.com OR
www.linuxforums.org just to name a few)
