Hello, I have been trying to be brave and venture through linux on my own. I have been playing with Ubuntu for the last week and decided that I want to stick with it. I have been trying to install pskmail and have successfully installed fldigi and gmfsk. I have followed the client install on the website and have been getting stuck on the Gtk2::GladeXML step. I keep getting the following when using cpan: CPAN.pm: Going to build T/TS/TSCH/Gtk2-GladeXML-1.006.tar.gz *** can not find package libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at Makefile.PL line 45 I have looked in synaptic package manager and have found libglade2-0 in the list and it is installed. The manager says it is installed in /usr/lib directory. I have tried to install GTK2 manually from the cpan directory and get the following: *** can not find package /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0 >= 2.0.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at Makefile.PL line 45 So, I went in the Makefile.PL and hae tried to manually edit the file in vi. I am assuming that line 45 is from counting the lines: our %pkgcfg = ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find ('libglade-2.0 >= '.$build_reqs{Glade}); So I have editted it with : our %pkgcfg = ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find ('/usr/lib/libglade-2.0 >= '.$build_reqs{Glade}); I have been unsuccessful and think this will be my only roadblock. here is the list from the package manager that libglade2-0 has been installed: /. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0 /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/README /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/copyright /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/NEWS.gz /usr/share/doc/libglade2-0/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/xml /usr/share/xml/libglade /usr/share/xml/libglade/glade-2.0.dtd /usr/lib /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0.0.7 /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0 Not sure what else I can include. I would like to try and get this going from my distro and then use the cd for emergencies. Any and all help will be appreciated.. 73 Jason KB2SDR --------------------------------- Don't be flakey.
