Gratitude and Questions...

Thanks you so much for your replies! At the time I took your advice and found an RPM and made my life a bit easier. Now I'm understanding the way linux's filesystem is structured a bit better, so I'm trying to build GTK-Gnutella (i can't find an rpm for it) and I'm running into the same kind of problem. I have tar'd the source files for the program into /usr/share/gtk-gnutella-0.92c . Every time I run ./configure in this directory I eventually get the following error:

Checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
***The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
***If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to gtk-config.

I have the following directories pertaining to gtk:
/etc/gtk
/etc/gtk-2.0
... however, I do not have a gtk-config or gtk_config file.

So... i have the following questions:
1 - isn't GTK required for KDE to run? I'm currently running 3.1!
2 - I've seen many references to "making sure something is on you PATH". In windows you can edit the path line and add what you want, is this pre-set in linux or is it configurible... or does it mean something altogether different?
3 - Is this software possibly written before gtk-2.0 and therefore doesn't know how to recognize it?

I'm really confused and frustrated... any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS ALL!!!

partx

PARTX(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  PARTX(8)

NAME

       partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.

SYNOPSIS

       partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  block	device	(  disk  ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or
       remove partitions.

       This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not a change of the disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
       of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS

       -a     add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions

       -d     delete specified or all partitions

       -l     list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.

       --type TYPE
	      Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.

       --nr M-N
	      Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).

SEE ALSO

       addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)

AVAILABILITY

       The partx command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
