Hi!
Ive Solaris 8 x86 and i want to compile X-Chat. Ive installed glib-1.2.10-sol8-intel-local from www.sunfreeware.com.
But the configure script of XChat tells me the following:
-----
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3... sh: gnome-config: not found
sh: gnome-config: not found
no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
-----

Here is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
/usr/local/samba/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/opt/SUNWns:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/sadm/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/share/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/usr/lib:/etc/lib:/lib

and my PATH
/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/proc/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/sadm/bin:/usr/sadm/install/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/perl5/bin:/usr/openwin/bin

Does anyone know what is going wrong?
Thanks!

Hhmm, looks weird.

Please try a "truss <command to issue>", in this case you can find out exactly where it errors on.

It's a lot of info, but now I think you have to few info. It looks like you set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH correct. Just make sure you didn't miss the installdir in this var.

It may be your versions are not up to date - note error "checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3."

Take a look at BugID 4806701 on SunSolve.

Yes. That was it. Now ive compile the newest version of glib and it works.
Thank you for your answers.
