Title: Installing libxml/glib
Post by: hitman012 on September 03, 2006, 11:24:44 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to install an IRC proxy/bouncer on my SME installation, but am having some problems. After getting and compiling pkg-config (which its configure script needs), I recieve this error:

Code: [Select]

checking for libxml-2.0 glib-2.0 gmodule-2.0... configure: error: libxml and glib are required

I've tried various variations of this with yum in order to try and download but have had no luck. I also tried compiling the latest version of glib but the script still gives me this error (do I need to reboot after that?).

Thanks :)

Which repositories do you have enabled? Do you also have the 3rd Party Yum repositories (http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/3rdPartyYumRepositories) enabled? Maybe those repositories also hold an rpm for the package you are trying to install, this will save you building the package. I mainly use the dries, dag en atrpms repositories in case I cannot find it in the default repositories. Be sure to use Centos or RHEL RPM's, they have worked for me all the time.

Nope... couldn't find an up-to-date version in the repositories you suggest :(

Whats an uptodate one ?

Try

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates list libxml2 glib2

Which for me gives

Code: [Select]

[root@tiger ~]# yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates list libxml2 glib2
==============================================================

To see which repositories are on your system..

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories show | more

Take note of the Visible and status fields.

If Visible is 'no' then they wont be seen in the Server-Manager and staus 'no' means they wont be used by yum unless you specify them with the --enablerepo option.

Interesting - that returns that they're installed. In that case, I must be missing gmodule?

Thanks for your replies so far.

It appears to have worked for me.

The packages installed fine, but unfortunately it's still giving me the same error. I've tried restarting the system but to no avail.

Hmm

I'm sure thats all I did..

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates install cpp gcc libxml2-devel glib2-devel
wget http://ctrlproxy.vernstok.nl/releases/ctrlproxy-2.6.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf ctrlproxy-2.6.2.tar.gz
cd ctrlproxy-2.6.2
./configure
make
make install

You replied while I was editing the yum line.

Interesting - I ran your updated yum line and it added another package. However, it still returns that error when obviously they are installed. Perhaps through trying to compile glib myself I inadvertently caused this? If so, is there a way to remove glib completely and start again to eliminate the possibility?

I have no idea.

I gather

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates remove glib
says nothing to do.
If so try

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates install glib

Had to do this as well..

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates install pkgconfig

Nope.. that doesn't seem to do it either. I've tried removing the packages and installing them again, but with no success. This is a strange one :-?

Just to make sure I didn't miss anything I tried it again on a stock SME 7 install ( in VMware ).

List of the commands I used..

Code: [Select]

[root@vmsme2 ctrlproxy-2.6.2]# history
    1  yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates install cpp gcc libxml2-devel glib2-devel pkgconfig
    2  wget http://ctrlproxy.vernstok.nl/releases/ctrlproxy-2.6.2.tar.gz
    3  tar -xzf ctrlproxy-2.6.2.tar.gz
    4  cd ctrlproxy-2.6.2
    5  ./configure
    6  make
    7  make install
    8  history
[root@vmsme2 ctrlproxy-2.6.2]#

I was logged in as root and started in the /root directory.

My only 'error' was the following during make install

Code: [Select]

make[1]: Entering directory /root/ctrlproxy-2.6.2/doc'

---------------------------------------------------------------
You are using ctrlproxy from CVS and have not enabled the docs
(./configure --enable-docs). No documentation will be installed

It appears to be installed ok..
