Compiling Amarok from git gives error “gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h: No such file or directory” it is installed in /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk.

I just up’ed to openSuse 11.4 and KDE 4.6.1 - compiled fine last time I tried which was probably last weekend or so (March 2nd or third)

Wondering if /usr/include/gtk-2.0/ is new in 11.4 because of the upcoming gtk3.0 and the problem is it’s not some path and not being compiling proficient I’m a bit lost.

thanks,

It was a location problem - after countless Googles found a Ubuntu thread with a solution

“… In 10.10 it seems that the gdk-pixbuf includes are stored in their own directory off of /usr/include, whereas in previous versions they had been lumped in with gtk-2.0. If you have installed libgtk2.0-dev and libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev then you’ll need to execute:
sudo ln -s /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf”
