Fink - compiling gtk+2-2.2.1-5 failed

[bluehz]

Last week and this week when I did my fink selfupdate then fink updateall it has been crapping out on gtk+. I believe that is Gnome stuff if I am not mistaken. I have never installed Gnome though. So...

1. Do I need the gtk stuff?
2. If so - how do I fix the compile?

BTW - tried looking for solution in Fink-Users mailing list - but those damn sourceforge mailing list archives are CRAP! There is no way that I have found to search them for a term. Whats the use of an archive??? Maybe I am just missing it. Anyway - any help or advice appreciated.

bluehz, this is the error. The binary gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders was built with a different version of libiconv.2.dylib than the one found in /sw/lib.

1- You may have another libiconv.2.dylib sitting in /usr/local/lib. If this is true, move it away.

2- Or perhaps your /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib, which is a symlink, does not point to the same file as /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib?

Run:

'll /sw/lib/libiconv*'

it should show the following links:

libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
libiconv.2.dylib -> libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.0.4.dylib

Let me know.

hey sao - thx for the help.

here's what I got:ll /sw/lib/libiconv*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 904372 Jun 28 2002 /sw/lib/libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 20 May 3 05:23 /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib -> libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 20 May 3 05:23 /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 710 Jun 28 2002 /sw/lib/libiconv.la

Looks pretty good except for that .la file...

That's fine. Check what you have in /usr/local/lib

Let me know.

[bluehz]

BINGO!

Should I just delete all of these?ll /usr/local/lib/libiconv*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1106928 Nov 15 01:38 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.1.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 May 2 19:10 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib -> libiconv.2.1.0.dylib

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 714 Nov 15 01:38 /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la

Whats the purpose of GTK if I don't have Gnome anyway?

No, don't do that. Move them away and try to install again gtk+2.

If still doesn't work, be sure to post here the gtk+2 errors. Especially if you get a GLIB error, like I suspect you will.

Don't worry, if that's the case, there is another way to solve it.


PS: Sorry, I will go out for dinner now, will be back in a couple of hours.

What is the equivalent of /etc/ld.so.conf in OS X? I am used to using that on my Linux Server - I have always wondered about that.

Ok, there you have it. It seems your Glib is configured to look for /usr/local/lib instead of /sw/lib/.

Try by removing /usr/local/ temporary:

sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local_away

You can move it back afterwards.

Now 'rebuild glib2'.

If finished succesfully, restore /usr/local/.

And finally run again install gtk+2.

Let me know.

[bluehz]

Ok - I moved the /usr/local out of the way, and rebuilt glib. Seemed to complete ok, but I did see this msg:*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -liconv.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have

then i made the mistake of trying to install gtk without moving the /usr/local back and it failed of course. Need to do that again. One question though - the gtk build gave this error:grep: /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory
/sw/bin/sed: can't read /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/local/lib/libiconv.la' is not a valid libtool archive

shouldn't it be looking for the correct libiconv stuff in /sw/lib instead of /usr/local/lib? All that stuff was older than what was in /sw/lib.

bluehz, try by restoring /usr/local and then, install gtk2 again.

[bluehz]

I think that did it - I actually ran a Fink update-all - which before was crapping out on GTK stuff. Thnx for your help. Still don't understand why I even have GTK stuff, also why is it still using the libraries in my /usr/local/lib... hmmm... oh well - it works..

- thx again

Strange indeed, I have no idea, maybe some config script in /usr/local/bin is producing the magic. Well, glad it worked!

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Besides being the toolkit for all the Gnome desktop stuff, GTK+ has dependencies or is used by a large number of applications:

gimp, abiword, dia, glade, gnucash, gnumeric, xchat-2, xchat-ssl, libpng3-shlibs, pygtk2, gkrellm2, gkrellkam2, jpilot-ssl, bluefish, gedit-2, gtetrinet2, xliquid, gail17, gtkglarea2, metacity-2, freetype2, glib2-dev, pango1-dev, libpng3, libtiff, dlcompat-dev, atk1, eel2, pkgconfig, etc.

[bluehz]

thx - that would explain it - I have Gimp, among others in the list...

as usual... your advice always saves the day. thx

[sao]

bluehz,

You mentioned in your first post about searching the archives and I understand your frustration. I use all the following, but I like best the archives at gmame.org (3):

1- At sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=fink-beginners

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=fink-users

Small search field on the left hand side of the page.(poor)


2- At http://www.mail-archive.com

http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net/

http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net/

It works, but the archives are always a couple of days (a week) behind.


3- This one is the best for me: http://gmane.org

http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners

http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.os.apple.fink.general

http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.os.apple.fink.devel

[bluehz]

thx - I use gmane (and the other one too - it has my qmail and djbdns lists on it) for other lists... I didn't even realize that fink was on their. As a matter of fact if you like using newsreaders (RSS) I can show you a little trick that will turn new gmane posting into an RSS feed that will show up in your newsreader.

I never have understood why such a fine facility as sourceforge has such poor support of user forums.

Thanks, please share with us.

[bluehz]

Ooops - I was mistaken - its not Gmane, but Mail Archive... they have the same stuff though. Here is Mail archive home page:

http://www.mail-archive.com/index.php

They have all the fink stuff, enter 'fink' as search term... use the link to the group as the rss feed url.

For example:

Let say I want to subscribe to "mailman-users".

1. Search for 'mailman'
2. Right-click on "mailman-users" in the list that appears below. Copy url - http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ and append "maillist.rdf" to it. So it is:

http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/maillist.rdf

and thats what you put in your RSS Newsreader as the RSS source.

Fink-users would be:

http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net/maillist.rdf

This process actually works for any mailing list that uses Mailman as their mailing list agent.
