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!!!

i need to get rid of lilo's splash screen.
i've heard that you can edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add this line:
<b>append="splash=0"</b>
anyway, i did that and i still have a splash screen. any idea why that didn't work, or what is another way to disable the splash screen?
okay,

Hi,
So, I have a GTK based GUI app. I used GTKdevel-2.24 to develop and compile it on two different distros of linux: Fedora 14 and Linaro (tablet). All of my code was the same for each but compiled on each platform separately (32bit and ARM).
Both distros run the application. On Fedora 14... (0 Replies)

LINUX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LINUX(4)
NAME
linux -- Linux ABI support
SYNOPSIS
To compile support for this ABI into an i386 kernel place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options COMPAT_LINUX
for an amd64 kernel use:
options COMPAT_LINUX32
Alternatively, to load the ABI as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
linux_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The linux module provides limited Linux ABI (application binary interface) compatibility for userland applications. The module provides the
following significant facilities:
o An image activator for correctly branded elf(5) executable images
o Special signal handling for activated images
o Linux to native system call translation
It is important to note that the Linux ABI support it not provided through an emulator. Rather, a true (albeit limited) ABI implementation
is provided.
The following sysctl(8) tunable variables are available:
compat.linux.osname Linux kernel operating system name.
compat.linux.osrelease Linux kernel operating system release. Changing this to something else is discouraged on non-development systems,
because it may change the way Linux programs work. Recent versions of GNU libc are known to use different syscalls
depending on the value of this sysctl.
compat.linux.oss_version Linux Open Sound System version.
The linux module can be linked into the kernel statically with the COMPAT_LINUX kernel configuration option or loaded as required. The fol-
lowing command will load the module if it is neither linked into the kernel nor already loaded as a module:
if ! kldstat -v | grep -E 'linux(aout|elf)' > /dev/null; then
kldload linux > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
Note that dynamically linked Linux executables will require a suitable environment in /compat/linux. Specifically, the Linux run-time
linker's hints files should be correctly initialized. For this reason, it is common to execute the following commands to prepare the system
to correctly run Linux executables:
if [ -x /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig ]; then
/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux
fi
For information on loading the linux kernel loadable module automatically on system startup, see rc.conf(5). This information applies
regardless of whether the linux module is statically linked into the kernel or loaded as a module.

/compat/linux minimal Linux run-time environment
