[R] configuration error when installing gtkDevice

2003-07-04 Thread Dimitri Giunchi
Dear all,

when I try to install gtkDevice on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (R v. 1.7.1), I get
the following comfiguration error (see below).

Has anyone else had this problem?
Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Dimitri

Yes.  Do you have the appropriate gtk development RPMs installed?
My current RH8.0 machine did not.

The ./configure script could not find gtk-config, as stated
in the error message.  Hint: you may need to install that
tool for the script to find it on your system. A google
search will give you the directions to the right rpm
package(s).

Re: [R] configuration error when installing gtkDevice

2003-07-04 Thread Duncan Temple Lang

When compiling the gtkDevice package, we need the gtk+ development
libraries, i.e. libgtk.so and header files such as gtk.h.  The
error message saying 'Cannot find gtk-config' means that we cannot
locate the script that is used to tell us where the header files
and libraries are located.

So this means that you more than likely don't have the development
libraries on your system.  You will need to ensure that these are
available before installing gtkDevice. There should be
ready-to-install binaries for gtk for the Mandrake packaging system

Then, hopefully all will proceed smoothly.
