install problems

I'm trying to install an avi-xmms but when i do it tells me i need to install gtk+ 1.2 or higher. So I downloaded gtk+ and when i try to install it i go

./configure - everything seems to go fine
make - everything seems to go fine
make install - and then i get the following message:

Cannot load module /opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-cyrillic-translit.so: /opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-cyrillic-translit.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm really not sure whats going on here (which why I've come to you guys). I wish suse had apt-get install...heh

Anywho, your help is always appreciated.

Things to try:

1) gtk+ is split into two different development branches, so when they mention a dependency of >=gtk+ 1.2 they may mean specifically gtk+1.x. Try installing the latest gtk+1.2.x too if it's not present, though I guess you already have it otherwise xmms wouldn't be working at all.

2) try a "locate im-cyrillic-translit.so" or "find / -name im-cyrillic-translit.so" and do a symbolic link (ln -s) for it to /opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/

4) try ./configure --help to see if that cyrillic-related thing is something optional that can be disabled at the Makefile through the autoconf utility.

sorry its taken me so long to reply.

you were right, i installed gtk+ v1.2.10 and now I'm passed that error. Unfortunatly i have a new one saying i need xmms 1.2.3 or higher, but no worries I should be able to figure this one out. And if i cant ill be sure to post.

Also while I was trying to install gtk+1.2.10 it gave me this error:
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
linux:/home/cody/zippedFiles/glib-1.2.0 # locate ltconfig
/home/cody/zippedFiles/gtk+-1.2.10/ltconfig

so i edited the ltconfig file and where it said
host=
I put the name of my box...after that it installed fine. Do you know if that was the right thing to do? Thanks agian!

So im having a problem with xmms...
I dont know how familiar you are with Suse's software management program but It says that I have xmms 1.2.10 installed, but when i ./configure it tells me:

configure: error: *** XMMS >= 1.2.3 not installed - please install first ***

so I tried downloading the source and this is the error that I get when i try to "make"

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../xmms -I/usr/local/include/gtk-1.2 -I/opt/gnome/include/glib-1.2 -I/opt/gnome/lib64/glib/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I../../intl -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -finline-functions -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops -MT ir.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ir.Tpo -c ir.c -fPIC -DPIC -o ir.lo

Does you know why its telling me that xmms is not installed when yast is telling me that it is installed. Or why im getting this error when I try install the source.

Try removing xmms from Yast and then reinstalling it.

Either that or install your original package through Yast directly if it's available.

I'm lost without apt-get

yeah, apt-get rocks. I actually installed Ubuntu on my spare machine and liked it so much its now replacing suse on my main machine (dual booting with Windows). So I'm back with apt-get thankfully.

Also I did try uninstalling it and reinstalling it but I got the same problem...but ill put the problem off until i run into it again, heh.

Thanks for the help,
Cody
