Trying to make grip - and failing.

robin_listas · June 8, 2011, 4:20am

Trying to make grip - and failing; It says it needs:

checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib… not found
configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by
gnome-libs install

So, I’m searching for a package that contains gnomeConf.sh, but failing.
Neither gnome-libs: closest is “PolicyKit-gnome-libs”.

Google suggests I need gnome-libs-devel, but no such package for 11.4 (yes
for older distros).

More googling, same question in Ubuntu, say the package is obsolete and no
more.

Hi
Here is gnomeConf.sh and lives in /usr/lib(64)/;


#
# Configuration of the gnome-libs package
#

GNOME_LIBDIR="@GNOME_LIBDIR@"
GNOME_INCLUDEDIR="@GNOME_INCLUDEDIR@ @GTK_CFLAGS@"
GNOME_LIBS="@GNOME_LIBS@"
GNOMEUI_LIBS="@GNOMEUI_LIBS@"
GTKXMHTML_LIBS="@GTKXMHTML_LIBS@"

need_gnome_support="@need_gnome_support@"

Patch it out and export the above.

Lots of patches… I would suggest a bug report or ping Dave Plater on
the mailing list if it’s not working.

I think that surpasses my skills. I would need to patch the configure script.

That’s another possibility, I didn’t know it was him. My problem is that
grip seems to be partially broken, so I tried to compile it myself.
