Echilon Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'm pretty new to linux, and I'm trying to install ettercap, I got an error when I tried to ./configure saying that my versions of gtk+-, atk, glib and pango are too low, so I've tried to install all of the above packages, and they seemed to install with no errors, I did ./configure, then make, then make install as root, but when I try to install gtk+- or ettercap, I still get errors saying that my versions of glib, pango and atk are too low, so the configuring never finishes. I'v also tried to install the dependancies listed at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/dependencies/ but it didn't help. I'm not sure whether these programs/libraries are installed or not. Pls help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 25, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2004 What distro are you using? If you have an RPM-based distro, you can see what packages are installed by: rpm -qa this will list them all (and your screen will scroll them and you can look through them) It would be easier to use grep to filter them and look for specific things like: rpm -qa | grep glib to show all entries that have "glib" in them (my system has 8 entries).

Echilon Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 I'm using mandrake 9.2, and I also have eight entries, but I'm still stuck as to how I install the packages, In the README and INSTALL files, It says to type './configure', then 'make' then as root, 'make install' which I've done but the programs don't seem to be installed. Am I missing something? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? :unsure: Did any of those steps report an error? Also, doing an install from source will not usually put an entry into your KDE or Gnome menus. It will install the program, though - and you can add the program to the menus where you like. Did you try running the program through the shell (command line)?
