[Bug-gnubg] glib 2 gnubg help

[Kevin]

Hello,

 

Im’ new to linux and not 100% if what I’m doing is correct.  I’m attempting to compile gnubg on what I believe is a Fedora core 4 system.  I’ve downloaded the 0.13 source files from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnubg.

 

Now then, what I need is to be able to compile gnubg with only the CLI.  I *think* gnubg can be compiled so that it can only use the commandline.  To do that, I’ve done is ran the following command after I unzipped everything.

 

configure --without-gtk --without-gtk2 --without-x

 

if this would then complete, and not hang on the following error, I think we’d be gold. But as it is, I get an error =/

 

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no

*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...

*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.

*** You must have installed Glib1 or Glib2 in order to

    compile GNU Backgammon

 

At this point I tried installing multiple versions of of glib that were anywhere from 2.10 – 2.13, but everytime, the configure refused to acknowledge that it had been installed.

 

Anyhow that is where gave up.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
