I have successfully downloaded the sources and built R as a shared library on a Red Hat Enterprise Level 3 box. I am now trying to build the GNOME GUI, but configure is barfing on glade. According to the system logs, the RPM for libglade2-devel-2.0.1-3.x86_64 is installed, but in /usr/bin, where gnomeGUI configure is looking, what's there is libglade-convert. How do I fix this?
By reading the manual. In the R-admin manual it says
`Please check you have all the requirements. You need at least the
following packages or later installed:
audiofile-0.2.1
esound-0.2.23
glib-1.2.10
gtk+-1.2.10
imlib-1.9.10
ORBit-0.5.12
gnome-libs-1.4.1.2
libxml-1.8.16
libglade-0.17
...
Remember that some package management systems (such as @acronym{RPM} and
deb) make a distinction between the user version of a package and the
developer version. The latter usually has the same name but with the
extension @samp{-devel} or @samp{-dev}. If you use a pre-packaged
version of @acronym{GNOME} then you must have the developer versions of
the above packages in order to compile the R-GNOME console.'
My FC3 box has
gannet% rpm -qa | grep ^libglade
libglade2-devel-2.4.0-5
libglade-devel-0.17-15
libglade2-2.4.0-5
libglade-0.17-15
and note that libglade2[-devel] is NOT a later version of libglade (in the
same way that gtk2 is different from gtk).
AFAICS it is likely that /usr/bin/libglade-config is provided by
libglade-devel-0.17-15.
That is correct, subject of course to RPM version differences between FC3/4 and RHEL3/4. Using RPM, this can be confirmed with: $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/libglade-config libglade-devel-0.17-16 which is the output on FC4. HTH, Marc Schwartz
