Hello Roman, thanks for your quick reply. > Orbit is usually installed as part of Gnome. Of which gconf is the > configuration management. So if you have gconf you usually also have > Gnome and with it you'll have Orbit. OK. So far, I only have those parts of gnome required to building classpath. So much for my priorities :-) classpath configure now requires gconf >= 2.11.2: ./configure --with-jikes --disable-plugin --prefix=/opt/classpath [...] checking for gconf-2.0 >= 2.11.2... Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gconf-2.0' found while building gconf 2.11.92 fails with ./configure No package 'ORBit-2.0' found configure: error: Package requirements (gmodule-2.0 >= 2.7.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.7.0 ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met. and building a fresh gconf 2.14.0 fails with: ./configure checking for DEPENDENT... Requested 'glib-2.0 > 2.9.0' but version of GLib is 2.8.6 configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 > 2.9.0 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.7.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.7.0 ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met: I don't use GNOME. Seems like --disable-gconf-peer is the way to go. What are the gconf peers supposed to do anyway? Thanks, Norman
