[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk-sharp RedHat Linux installation

Wed Oct 7 20:12:47 EDT 2009

Chris,

Thanks for your help. I am new to Linux and mono world.

(1) If I did a "sudo -s" and execute the ./configure --prefix=/usr/local.  The following is what I got from console.  My "where mono" is at /usr/local/bin/mono and thus add prefix as above.  There is an error from console " Requested 'gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0' but version of GTK+ is 2.10.4".  I am asking my Linux admin on this and not sure whether we can upgrade GTK+ (I am not sure where it come from? GNU installation?).  Is there a way to get around it (use GTK+ 2.10.4 instead of >= 2.12.0)?  Should I try older version of gtk-sharp?

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

(2) If I login as myself and do a "./configure --prefix=/usr/local", the following is what I got from console.  It sure looks like I have some permission issue.

chuchiehliu at lnxeng02:[/tmp/mono/gtk-sharp-2.12.9] {3} % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
./configure: line 1739: config.log: Permission denied
./configure: line 1749: config.log: Permission denied

Best regards,
Jerry

Don't compile stuff as root.

If there is no Makefile, then the ./configure script did not complete
successfully.  Can you attach the output it gives?
