From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: imlib-devel for Red Hat 8.0 installed a file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/imlibgdk.pc, which contains the following Requires line: Requires: gdk,gmodule When someone uses pkg-config in the configure script for their program, and they tell it to look for "imlibgdk", the Requires line in that file tells pkg-config to find the files gdk.pc and gmodule.pc. gmodule.pc exists, but gdk.pc does not. Therefore, the configure script for their program fails. Checking thru RHN and the various packages in Red Hat 8.0, there appears to be NO package that provides the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gdk.pc. Therefore, I believe either a package in the distribution needs to provide that file, or the Requires for imlib-devel need to be changed to: Requires: gdk-2.0,gmodule as the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gdk-2.0.pc does exist, being provided by gtk2-devel. I do not know which is correct. Mine is only to report. ;) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the configure script for a GNOME2 program, like Camorama (http://camorama.fixedgear.org), which runs pkg-config, and looks for imlibgdk 2. Watch the sparks fly Actual Results: You get this error: checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for gdk-pixbuf-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.13 gconf-2.0 imlibgdk... Package gdk was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gdk.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gdk', required by 'ImlibGdk', not found Expected Results: It should have successfully completed this step, as all other requirements have been met. Additional info:
Ah, a slight mistake. This line: "Therefore, I believe either a package in the distribution needs to provide that file, or the Requires for imlib-devel need to be changed to:" needs to change to: "Therefore, I believe either a package in the distribution needs to provide the file gdk.pc, or the Requires line in the file imlibgdk.pc need to be changed to:" Hope that's not TOO confusing. ;) Sorry!
it requires gtk+-devel, which did not ship in 8.0 with pc files. This has been fixed in Rawhide.
