on a couple occasions now, I have downloaded source for programs that only had Linux binaries available and tried to install from source on FreeBSD. Most all of them have a configure script. I keep running into the problem that it will tell me that I don't have to gtk installed when I most definitely do. GTK was installed from the ports collection into /usr/X11R6/include/gtk12/gtk ./configure gives the error message: *** 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 I got the same result after running GTK_CONFIG. I eventually fixed the problem by making a symbolic link from gtk12-config (in /usr/X11R6/bin) to gtk-config. This makes configure happy. However, I still cannot get this thing to compile. Everything seems to be going well until I get: "Makefile", line 295: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Anyway, this most recent time I've had this experience is with the newest version of gnapster (downloaded today off freshmeat.net). I've also had the same problem with a little program called Tuxcards. Is there some fundamental differences in make in FreeBSD and Linux, or is it the gtk? Oh yeah, nearly forgot. I'm running FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE, if that makes any difference. ----- In computer terms, hardware is the stuff you can hit with a baseball bat, and software is the stuff you can only swear at. -from a web page explaining what hardware, software, and firmware are ---- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
