Do you have the appropriate gtk development RPMs installed? My current RH8.0 machine did not.

Hint: you may need to install that tool for the script to find it on your system. A google search will give you the directions to the right rpm package(s). -- Philippe
Dear all,
when I try to install gtkDevice on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (R v. 1.7.1), I get
the following comfiguration error (see below).
Has anyone else had this problem?
Any hints are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Dimitri

[R] configuration error when installing gtkDevice
When compiling the gtkDevice package, we need the gtk+ development libraries, i.e. libgtk.so and header files such as gtk.h. The error message saying 'Cannot find gtk-config' means that we cannot locate the script that is used to tell us where the header files and libraries are located. So this means that you more than likely don't have the development libraries on your system. You will need to ensure that these are available before installing gtkDevice. There should be ready-to-install binaries for gtk for the Mandrake packaging system Then, hopefully all will proceed smoothly. D.
