gegl ./configure problem

[cerke]

Hi guys!

So, I've been trying to install gimp 2.8 rc1 on my Ubuntu 10.10
and I installed a bunch of libraries. Then I got stuck on gegl 0.2.0.
compiling...
At a point after the ./configure (or ./autogen.sh) command it says:

./configure: line 16446: syntax error near unexpected token `$GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION,'
./configure: line 16446: `AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0($GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION, :,'

What does it mean? I already installed the glib 2.28.2. version (which is btw one of the newest versions) and it still bugs me..

Can somebody help?

Sorry, didn't know where to put the topic..

so, anyone...help?

How about first running "sudo apt-get build-dep gegl"? Maybe it's missing a dependent library.

Hi guys!

./configure: line 16446: syntax error near unexpected token `$GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION,'
./configure: line 16446: `AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0($GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION, :,'

This error means the file /usr/share/aclocal/glib-2.0.m4 is not installed. It is normally packaged in libglib2.0-dev -- check to see if that package is installed. If you built glib from source instead, make sure it was built with the right prefix and installed properly.

tried the 'sudo apt-get build-dep gegl' already a bunch of times, and it says:

E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_otto-kesselgulasch_gimp_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_source_Sources - open (2: No such file or directory)

then I tried to add that ppa repository that it asks, but with no result..
(I think someone put the whole gimp 2.8 package on that repository but it seams that I can't install from it..)

And after that not working tried to install the 'libglib2.0-dev' library and it works!!
gegl finally has everything it needs to run the 'make' command.
so, I run make && make install and it seams everything is as it should be.

but then I try to run ./configure for the gimp 2.8 rc1 installation and it says:

checking for GEGL... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gegl-0.2 >= 0.2.0) were not met:

No package 'gegl-0.2' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GEGL_CFLAGS
and GEGL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

da faq? checked it, gegl 0.2 package is in the usr/local/lib directory (among all).
why does it say it's not there?

Perhaps the rules to search for gegl do not look in /usr/local... did you try setting GEGL_CFLAGS and GEGL_LIBS explicitly?

[cerke]

it seams I cannot find those scripts...
where could they be?

They're enviroment variables.

I think the solution is to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to pick up your installation before running configure.

Try

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

and see if that helps. Note that there are no spaces around the '=', that's important.

[cerke]

still the same.
where are this variables (GEGL_CFLAGS and GEGL_LIBS) set so I can set them manually? maybe that will do..
