RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
I do have the xpm-devel package installed. So in theory... I never let data get in the way of a good theory! Actually I tried to install LM 7.0 but was never sucessful. For some reason after rebooting when DrakX finished, the keyboard and mouse would get frozen and I could never logon. I suspect a hardware problem (Gateway Solo P3C laptop, P120, 40Mb) but it isn't severe enough to break a RH install. Any idea how to find out where the install is looking for the X_LIBS. env doesn't offer any clues? Any other ideas? -P -Original Message- From: Necrotica To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 6/14/00 7:49 PM Subject: RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors Do you have the devel packages installed for both?

Re: [newbie] Make errors
This is a tricky question to answer, because it partially depends on what you're trying to compile. Most software cource that you download comes with a script called configure that checks your system, makes sure you have all the pre-requisites installed, etc. and creates special directive files to tell the compiler how to compile the software on your machine. Does this software have a scipt called configure in it, and did you run it by typing: ./configure first? There is something important that you should know before your continue trying to compile whatever it is that you're trying to compile. Mandrake is an RPM-based distribution. RPM stands for Redhat Packager Manager. Its a system where you can download a .RPM file and easily install it by selecting it from a utility like Kpackage within DrakConf. The nice thing about it is that you can easily uninstall RPMs if you need to, whereas if you compile straight source code it can sometimes be a big pain in the rear to uninstall because files can easily get thrown all over the place and they can be impossible to track down. I like compiling my own software too, so I generally download SRPMs, which are special RPMS that contain the source code. You can compile them by typing rpm --rebuild --target i586 name.rpm. If there are dependencies needed, it tells you. Once its built you can install the RPM as you normally would. If you are new to Linux, and it sounds like you are, I would strongly suggest to either download a binary RPM of the software you are trying to compiler, or downloaded the SRPM and compile it using the above command. Trust me, it will make your life much easier and m ake it much easier for you to maintain your system. If the software that you are trying to compile does not come in RPM format, check rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/ and look in the cooker and contrib directories to see if someone elese made an RPM for it already. The only thing that I use that is not in RPM format is WIN, so chances are until you become more familiar with the Linux environment you should be able to find everything you need in RPM format. My humble opinion. -Chris On Wed, 14 Jun 2000, Fred Hamilton wrote: Well, with the help of everyone that responded to my cry for help, I am now able to use tar. Now... HELP again.

Rather it's likely that you're missing a library or some other resource that the system is looking for to complete the task that you've assigned it. -- Mark I love my Linux box... My Linux Box ROCKS!

RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
Thanks, I tried the longer path definition to no avail. I'll admit, I'm using Redhat 6.0, not a Mandrake distro. There is no /usr/X386 directory. The wine configure.in file has an entry that is clearly where configure trips... dnl *** Check for -lXpm AC_CHECK_HEADERS(X11/xpm.h) [ dnl *** If X11/xpm.h exists... AC_CHECK_LIB(Xpm, XpmCreatePixmapFromData, [ AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBXXPM) X_PRE_LIBS="$X_PRE_LIBS -lXpm"],, $X_LIBS -lXext -lXpm -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS ) ], and then the text of the error that prints when configure chokes on me. It seems that $X_LIBS can't be found. How do I identify what the current state is? Env offers no clue.

RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
Out of curiousity (not a flame please don't take it as one) why are you posting problems that you're having with a Red Hat distro to a Mandrake list? Yes, mandrake is based off of RedHat, but it's compiled for Pentium machines (both causing new problems and alleviating RH problems) and contains many newer versions of various packages than Red Hat does. Yes, from the command line the two distros look almost the same. you get into admin tools and mandrake is quite a bit different. You may have better luck getting your various issues solved in a RedHat forum of some kind. Good luck getting your problem fixed, if I know I'd help ya out. -David Talbot At 04:33 PM 6/14/00 -0400, you wrote: Thanks, As I indicated in another reply, I'll admit to running RH 6.0, not a Mandrake distro.

Re: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
Did you compile it yourself or did you try "rpm --rebuild pack.src.rpm"? Maybe there is a BAD solution you could try : make a symlink from /usr/include/xpm.h to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h. This is not nice, but there are chances that it works. But hopefully, someone will have a better solution. If you don't get any other answer here, you could also try the expert mandrake mailing list.
