SuSE

To me it looks as if the glib-devel packages are not installed. glib-config is provided by the glib-devel packages. If the devel packages are not on your system, then you won't be able to compile XTheater - and that's about all there is to it I'm afraid!

When you are going through YaST, which glib packages are listed?

BTW - KDE Find should allow wildcards/regexs in the searches, but I use the command line anyway - its far more flexible.

Run
rpm -qa | grep glib

You should see glib-devel*, glibc-devel*, glib*, glibc*

Post the output from the above rpm command.

Ok I ran the code in a terminal window and got this

chris@linux:~> rpm -qa | grep glib
glibc-2.3.3-118
glibc-i18ndata-2.3.3-118
taglib-1.3-4
jakarta-taglibs-standard-javadoc-1.1.1-3
glibc-locale-2.3.3-118
glibc-html-2.3.3-118
glib-1.2.10-589
jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.1-3
glib2-2.4.6-5
glibc-devel-2.3.3-118
glibc-info-2.3.3-118
glib2-devel-2.4.6-5
glib2-doc-2.4.6-5

I installed every single package off of the 5 cds trying to get stuff to work, so YaST shows all packages are installed. I don't even see a glib-devel package in YaST available for install...
Just wondering but what version of linux do you prefer?

I personally prefer SUSE 8.2 Professional - have stuck with SUSE for a few years now - but I'm not going to upgrade to 9.x in a hurry because my systems are fine - "If it ain't broke..."

The package that is missing will be called
glib-devel-1.2.10*

Try downloading and installing glib-devel-1.2.10 from an RPM mirror (try here )

I can't guarantee it will work for you though.

I went to that site and clicked "Install package with YaST" and it install but I don't see that nothing has changed. Still don't show up when I do rpm -qa | grep glib I just get the same list. Have any other suggestions? Maybe I should reinstall linux?

I wouldn't reinstall Linux - there's rarely a need to do that.

Right click one of the download links, save link as, save it somewhere on your HD.

cd to the directory containing the rpm, and run the following command as root

rpm -i glib-devel-*

That will install the lot (to /opt/gnome - therefore glib-config will be in /opt/gnome/bin/glib-config).

You can then either set GLIB_CONFIG="/opt/gnome/bin/glib-config" or if /opt and /usr are on the same filesystem then ln /opt/gnome/bin/glib-config /usr/bin/glib-config to create a hard link.

I saved the rpm and installed it and ran that code again and I see no change. The glib-devel package saved with the name glib-1.2.10-586.src.rpm. Also for some reason I can't delete anything off my Desktop unless I login to root, it says I'm the owner of them but says something like access denied. I think I might of screwed something up in the kernel when I tryed installing BestCrypt. It was saying something about going into the kernel source and doing a make mrproper and make install and on make install it had like 5 million options so I just did a Control + C and exited out of it. Thanks again for the help...

Here's the line frome the Konsole that shows me installing the rpm and checking for it:

linux:~/Desktop # rpm -i glib-1.2.10-586.src.rpm
linux:~/Desktop # rpm -qa | grep glib
glibc-2.3.3-118
glibc-i18ndata-2.3.3-118
taglib-1.3-4
jakarta-taglibs-standard-javadoc-1.1.1-3
glib-1.2.10-589
glibc-locale-2.3.3-118
glibc-html-2.3.3-118
jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.1-3
glib2-2.4.6-5
glibc-devel-2.3.3-118
glibc-info-2.3.3-118
glib2-devel-2.4.6-5
glib2-doc-2.4.6-5
linux:~/Desktop #

Whoops, you've pulled the source rpm off the page, not the "standard" rpm. Try right clicking on this link and saving the rpm.
