Installing LXDE on CentOS 5.2

[PlanBForOpenOffice]

I try to install LXDE on CentOS 5 in a VM.

I could not find a package to install from the repositories.

So I downloaded the source and it searches for a glib-2.0 package, which it can't find, as it is called glib2.

Code: Select all


> ./configure

...
checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
checking for GNU libc compatible malloc... yes
checking for setlocale... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Any ideas how to rectify this?

Well, I found the first step, how to get ./configure to work.

Code: Select all

> yum install glib2-devel.x86_64


Now make fails, because it apparently can't find the X11 header files.

Still needing help.

O.K. having momentum here:

Code: Select all

> yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel.x86_64


Solves the make dependencies for make

Code: Select all

> make
> make install


works as well. Lets hope this is now working.
