compile errors; gmake can't find gtk-config and glib-config commands

[Mark Vollmers]

Hi, all. Still trying to get all my programs compiled and finished. I think I need to look at some programming stuff later, cause I'm totally lost.

Anyway, I'm trying to install abiword. I have it downloaded, untar'ed, etc. I try to run the make command like it says to and it starts but errors out. I'm using gmake. I keep getting error lines scattered in like

gmake[4]: gtk-config: command not found
gmake[4]: glib-config: command not found
/bin/sh: glib-config: command not found
/bin/shgmake[4]: glib-config: command not found

now, I have installed gtk and glib from the deopts, and I have /opt/glib/bin and /opt/gtk+/bin in the /etc/PATH (the config files are in those directories). What am I missing? do I need to expressly call out those commands? any help (or resources for compiling help) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are all the needed directories/files defined in PATH?

Martin-

Yeah, I think I found the problem. I kept changing everything, adding stuff, and I don't think that everything quite clicked, so I made sure that root and myself had the local PATH pointing to /etc/PATH, had all the stuff in /etc/PATH, and then closed everything out to force it to log in again, and it started out. Of course, I got an error further downstream, but that's a different matter.
