Re: problems with glibc -- please help

Hi,

First, disclaimer - I'm new to the Gtk worlds as well, be warned ...

I believe you have a small mixup. I just recently installed Gtk 2.2.2 from source
into a custom directory in my system, so that I could hack and experiment on it,
therefor I think I know what's wrong.

If you want to install Gtk from source, you basically need the Gtk tarball and
3 more tarballs.  According to  http://www.gtk.org/download/ "Installation Guide" link
(the below is just for general idea):

(start quote)

Three of the libraries that GTK+ depends on are maintained by by the GTK+ team: GLib, Pango, and ATK. Other libraries are maintained separately.

(end quote)


I believe you installed *glibc* which to my best knowledge has nothing to do with *glib* which Gtk requires.
Glibc is (to my best knowledge) the GNU Standart C library where functions like printf() are defined.

To make a long story short, there exists some dependancies among the 4 mentioned packages, I believe they
have to be installed by order, and I think glib should go first. Try installing glib first and only then installing atk.

Please tell me if this helps (or I'll recall deeper what I did),

Gal.

Hi,

I downloaded glibc 2.2.2, pango 1.2.3 and atk 1.2.4 in order to install gtk.  I
installed glibc and it seemes to have installed properly.  But when i try to
install pango or atk it tells me:


checking for GLIB - version >= 2.1.3... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

configure: error:

Waht is GLIB test program?  I went into my glib directory and then in the test
directory.  I tried running ./testglib, which i thought was what they were
talking about before and this is what i get:


** (process:9292): WARNING **: harmless warning with parameters: 42 Boo 0x3039
** Message: the next warning is a test:

(process:9292): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmessages.c: line 840 (g_print):
assertion `format != NULL' failed
checking endian macros (host is little endian)...ok
checking file functions...
g_file_open_tmp correctly returns error: Template 'zap/barXXXXXX' invalid,
should not contain a '/'
g_file_open_tmp for template 'zapXXXXXX' used name '/tmp/zapAHZwJ2'
g_file_open_tmp for NULL template used name '/tmp/.CTE945'



What can i do to resolve the problem and finally get gtk to work?  

Thanks a lot,
Joelle
