[Sproggy]

Hi all ...

i am hooping someone can just tell me i am not going nuts lol

I have downloaded Postler from the XFCE site ... to try packaging for PCLOS and i am testing the manual configure and i am getting the following dependency issue

Code: [Select]

[kori@localhost postler-0.1.1]$ ./waf configure

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'zlib', required by 'GnuTLS', not found
/home/kori/Desktop/postler-0.1.1/wscript:97: error: the configuration failed (see '/home/kori/Desktop/postler-0.1.1/_build_/config.log')
[kori@localhost postler-0.1.1]$

i have installed everyting related to Webkit ... and i have searched for zlib.pc and to no avail can i find it ... will i need to repackage Webkit and zlib??

any help with this will be good as this will mean that XFCE will have it's own default email client at last

Kori, you are not going nuts 

......  although I have no idea how reliable that statement is 

The latest updates are complete on this PC?

Only a guess... is it installed zlib1-devel on your system ?

Source?
Specfile?

Save this file as zlib.pc and copy it to the folder /usr/lib/pkgconfig/

Code: [Select]

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include
sharedlibdir=/usr/lib

Name: zlib
Description: zlib compression library
Version: 1.2.3
