For some reason, linuxfromscratch isn't responding right now. However, I do have source for gtk+extra-2.1.1 in my directoryhome-allan-PIC-LINUX-gtk+extra-2.1.1. The main problem is that it can't find gtk+-2.0.pc. There are files such as gtkextra-2.0.m4 gtkextra-2.0.pc.in gtkextra-2.0.spec gtkextra-2.0.spec.in in the directory but no gtkextra-2.0.pc.in. There is no gtk+-2.0.pc anywhere on my system, according to locate.

I did a google search for gtk+-2.0.pc and got dozens of hits reproducing complaints of people who can't find one. I looked at gtkextra-2.0.pc.in and it is pretty simple. I compared it with a .pc file chosen at random from my system, e.g. alsa.pc: prefix=-usr execprefix=${prefix} libdir=${execprefix}-lib includedir=${prefix}-include-alsa

Name: alsa Description: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) - Library Version: 0.9.0rc6 Requires: Libs: -L${libdir} -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread Cflags: -I${includedir}

By way of contrast, gtkextra-2.0.spec.in contains:

Name: GtkExtra Description: Extra widget set for for GTK+ Requires: glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0 Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtkextra-${target}-2.0 Cflags: -I${includedir}-gtkextra-2.0

This makes it seem that I can simply copy gtkextra-2.0.spec.in to by imitating the .pc file for alsa, taking into account where I actually have the gtk+extra-2.1.1 source.

Regarding Linux From Scratch, I was interested in learning how to do what they talk about, but when I read their requirements to follow their procedures, I realized that it would not be possible on my old RH 7.1 system. -- Ignorantly, * Disclaimer: I am a guest and *not* a member of the MIT CSAIL.
