That installed it (thanks :)) but the same thing is still coming up :( It did install successfully (pkconfig) and I even re-booted the machine before running ./config again, but the same again...

 







 

This laptop and tar files don't seem to agree for some reason :S Is there anyway of making a .tar file into a rpm? It likes them a lot! lol

Heheh .. ok..

You should insure that you have all of those packages:

 







 

Try that, see if those are the correct package names, if not try this:

 







 

And see if you can find the correct package name to use. :)

The search worked! (the other's didn't) search results..

 







 

So I yummed all the top 2. It installed one and wouldn't install the other o_O The one that didn't install was pyorbit-devel.i386







 

So I did yum search pyorbit again and this give me:

Will try that and let ya know how I get one! cheers :)

Right, after A LOT of messing and figuring about (which has also taught me some neat tricks!) I have finally got gDesklets on my lappy and I officially now have a 'Cool Desktop' :) :D :)

 

I firstly upgraded to FC5 (so lush! What was I ever doing with FC4?!) and tried the above again, but it didn't work. After a bit of dabbling, I got it to work. I'll past what I did here so others can learn.

 

As root I just did:

 







 

..and that installed it! I was shocked, after the days of messing about that I had :) It needed a python compiler, but with that yum code, it also installed the needed one + the application.

 

Then to run lil desklets on your computer, you simply have to visit the gDesklets website, drag & drop the download link into the gDesklets shell (the program) and its done!

 

I'm still having lots of fun just adding desklets and playing with it lots! When i've decided what i'm keeping, i'll post ya a screenie of it ;)B):)

 

Happy Bunny at las :) :D

That yum cmd is magic, I don't bother looking for an rpm or tar file with that!!! :):)

Ahh yes, my screenie B):)

 



 

Anyone know how to remove the desktop icons? [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img]

Quote:That worked (yay :) ) but then it said that I needed another compiler?! o_O 

Code:

checking for GDESKLETS... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

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

To get pkg-config, see <http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig>.
See `config.log' for more details.

I followed the link, it don't take me anywhere where I can download it o_O So I tried this on the offchance that it would work..

 

Code:

yum install pkg-config-dev

which give me the following;

 

Code:

yum install pkg-config-dev

Which i'm guessing didn't install or update? maybe i've got the code wrong, I just guessed that it would be that. Any idea's?

 

Sorry to be a pita :( but I'm determined to get a cool desktop :):):)

Here's a trick to save some steps in the future for you potentially....

 







 

thus... if you would have ran







you would have seen:







 

Hope this helps ... I have found many oddly-named packages (instead of "gvim" the graphical GUI editor of VI ... it's called vim-X11 on my distro -- this is how I found it!)
