Hello - I am a newcomer to linux (mandrake) and I am coding in C++. I am trying to get a comfortable setup together with a nice ide (anjuta) and a gui library (wxWindows using gtk). It is proving very tiresome. So far I have gathered that to get anjuta working and wxWindows I need recent versions of gtk (2.4.0). To install this however I need a recent version of Pango(whatever that is). To install Pango I need a recent versio of GLib (whatever that is).
So I am trying to install GLib. So I download it, unzip it and tar it so that I have a glib-2.4.0 directory. I go inside it and do the usual:
./configure make make install (as root)
And all is well. Only I notice that in /usr/include there remains an old directory called glib-2.0 and no newer 2.4.0 one.
Now when I do the same with Pango the configure script tells me it finds only an old version of glib. I don't know how it works that out. So either the 2.4.0 hasn't installed or its presence is not felt by pango. The pango configure script suggests playing around with PKG_CONFIG (an apparently empty variable) to help pango find the version...
At this point I do no know what to do, I have read and reread all the docs and looked at the configure script.
Can someone help please as it is driving me mad - either directly or can you recommend somewhere on the web where that people love to help with problems like this?
Thanks. Bruce
