[ale] Q:ProblemBuilding GTK+

[John Mills]

ALErs -

I would appreciate suggestions on building gtk+-2.10.13 (in order to buld 
gimp-2.4.2). Platform is SuSE OpenLinux-9.3.

I downloaded sources, laundered pkgconfig/*, configured, made and 
installed:
jpeg-6b, tiff-3.8.2, libpng-1.2.23, cairo-1.4.12, pango-1.16.4, and 
glib-2.12.13. gtk+ runs 'configure ' OK, but 'make' fails with two types 
of error message:

1. Undefined references to functions redefined as 'extern's but don't seem 
to exist:

./.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to 
`g_bookmark_file_get_title'
./.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to 
`g_bookmark_file_get_is_private'
/usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so: undefined reference to 
`pango_font_description_get_gravity'

2. "Misplaced" libs, reported as:

libtool: link: warning: 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/../../..//libfontconfig.la' seems 
to be moved
libtool: link: warning: 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/../../..//libpango-1.0.la' seems 
to be moved
libtool: link: warning: 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/../../..//libpangocairo-1.0.la' 
seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/../../..//libcairo.la' seems to be 
moved

Those last look like conflicts between results of 'configure' and files 
sought to link, but all these steps were done in direct succession, so I 
don't know what "moved" any files.

TIA for any advice with this hairball.
