Bluefish problem - libpcre.pc

:(Hi all:

I'm trying to install Bluefish (html editor) but am running into a problem. Compiling from source (it isn't in the repos, sigh) I get a configure error that it can't find libpcre.pc (libpcre-dev). Using Yast2, I've searched for libpcre, libpcre.pc, libpcre-dev without results.

Code:

---

checking for pcre-config... no
configure: error: pcre-config/libpcre.pc not found. Install libpcre3-dev or similar.
laptop:/temp/bluefish-unstable-1.3.8 #

---

This has occurred in both bluefish 1.3.8 and 2.0.0.rc1.

My repos are the oss, non-oss, packman, suse-community, update, debug, kde-core, and kde-community). Also source, install-media, and videolan which are disabled.

Searching the forums, I find several references to Bluefish, but nothing about problems installing it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

that is because it *is* in the repos!
open YaST > Software Management > Search block, enter bluefish click
click done done..

if not something is BAD wrong with your YaST...what OS version and are
KDE or Gnome or what!

well, see here: http://software.opensuse.org/search
1. type bluefish
2. spin the dial to your OS
3. reading top to bottom click the FIRST "1-Click Install" button you
see (right side of center column....clean your glasses '44)

BUT, you have FAR too many repos: trim them down to four enabled (you
can have all you want listed, but only enable four unless you have a
specific need....read which four and why in the *IMPORTANT* note here:

Yes, I do have more repos enabled, but that is because I'm searching for bluefish.

Your sarcastic response is not appreciated!!!!

Since you apparently know which repository bluefish is in, why not share that knowledge.

Hi
Did you follow the search link provided rather than using YaST?

:shame:The only part of your response that was useful was the repo search. It was in education repo, not a normally used one.

Also in Edu repo

Going back to my original post, I see I didn't explain what I'm trying to do.

I use Firefox on several computers, both linux and winblows. I want to be able to copy "parts" of the bookmark file between systems without overwriting the existing bookmarks. I could copy the URLs into an email and then retreive it on the other machines, but I don't have email accounts on all machines. Besides that, I'm lazy, there has to be a simple way.

Any suggestions?

Sorry for the snippy response. Made on a bad day when I didn't take time to sit back and analyze things thouroughly.
:shame:on me.

I did find bluefish in the education repo which I didn't have in my repo list. It is now but not enabled.

Thanks for the tip about searching the repos, I'd forgotten about that. Getting too darn old.
