Sure, the exact command that i typed was: ./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` --libexecdir=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome which gave the following error: configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0 Then, I ran the checked PKG_CONFIG_PATH by echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH and it returned: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ Then I ran the command `pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0' (without quotes) and it returned /usr So, for configuring libbonobo, I used the following command and installed it: ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
