in its manual it says

Code:

Build Instructions
------------------

1) Type "make". You may have to edit the makefile to tell it the
location of 'gnome-config'.

2) Type "make install"

3) Pray...

I'll get around to autoconf sometime in the near future.

where is gnome-config

and where in the makefile do i alter the path??

thanks in ADV

Type "which gnome-config" and note down the path displayed, now view the Makefile using your favourite text editor (eg - "vi Makefile"), and search it for gnome-config (under vi, hit '/', and then enter search term). See if an incorrect path is displayed and if so, edit it.

I actually do no know what gnome-config and gmailwatch are, so take this with a pinch of salt.

this what i got after

# which gnome-config

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# which gnome-config
/usr/bin/which: no gnome-config in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lo cal/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)
[root@localhost ~]#

i dont understand this

Do you have gnome installed? From what I gather, gnome-config comes with the gnome-libs package, so just make sure you have it installed. Now its possible that gnome-config isn't located in the search paths, so try "locate gnome-config" (its better to run "updatedb" before locate, if you haven't run it before. It gets auto run every 4:40AM). Note that what you need is a program called gnome-config, and not gnome-config.h or anything.

BTW, for any application you are compiling, check the documentation for the software it requires, and make sure you have it all installed.
