Installing GTK+2.2.1 on Mandrake 9.1 from Source

Why:

To allow you to compile dia and gaim which use gtk2 you will need to install GTK+-2.2.1

Platform:

mdk9.1

Files:

You will need the following from your favourite gtk mirror

glib-2.2.1.tar.bz2

atk-1.2.0.tar.bz2

pango-1.2.1.tar.bz2

tiff-v3.5.7.tar.gz

gtk+-2.2.1.tar.bz2

for each package run ./configure without options this will put it all in /usr/local

After glib is installed add the following script named pkg-config.sh to the /etc/profile.d dir and make it executeable.

#!/bin/sh



# package config environment setup

# add to this when you have *.pc files in other locations



PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"



export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Also run the following commands as root so that the linker can find your shared libraries

echo /usr/local/lib >>
/etc/ld.so.conf

ldconfig -v

Problems:

One of the ./configure's looked for db2html and something else can't remember which one though

Stuff I'm going to make note of

libIDL is needed for CVS Mozilla.
./configure (no options)
