[gtkmm] checking if libsigc++ sane... no

["Gansser, Martin" <MGansser rand de>]

Hi,

I tried to compile gtkmm-1.2.9 on hpux 11.00 with
gcc-3.2
libgsigc++-1.2.1

configure breaks with the following error message:

checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes
checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes
checking what warning flags to pass to the C++ compiler... -Wall -Wno-unused
checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
checking for sigc-config... /usr/local/bin/sigc-config
checking for libsigc++ - version >= 0.8.5... 1.1.9
checking if libsigc++ sane... no
configure: error: Libsigc++ is required to compile Gtk--. If libsigc++ was installed
but no found to be sane,  most likely you have not placed the
/usr/local/lib path in the library config file and run ldconfig.

# sigc-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/lib/sigc++-1.2/include -I/usr/local/include/sigc++-1.2
# sigc-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lsigc-1.1



a test with libsigc++-1.1.9 and gtkmm-1.2.9 shows this:

checking for sigc-config... /usr/local/bin/sigc-config
checking for libsigc++ - version >= 0.8.5... ./configure[6313]: /usr/local/bin/sigc-config:  not fou
nd.
./configure[6315]: /usr/local/bin/sigc-config:  not found.
./configure[6316]: /usr/local/bin/sigc-config:  not found.
./configure[6317]: /usr/local/bin/sigc-config:  not found.
expr: Syntax error

no
configure: error: Libsigc++ is required to compile Gtk--. If libsigc++ was installed
but no found to be sane,  most likely you have not placed the
/usr/local/lib path in the library config file and run ldconfig.

# ll /usr/local/bin/sigc-config-1.2

I made a ln -s /usr/local/bin/sigc-config-1.2 /usr/local/bin/sigc-config

mzfem_root:/usr/local/bin # ./sigc-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/lib/sigc++-1.2/include -I/usr/local/include/sigc++-1.2
mzfem_root:/usr/local/bin # ./sigc-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lsigc-1.1

but allways the same:
...
checking what warning flags to pass to the C++ compiler... -Wall -Wno-unused
checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
checking for sigc-config... /usr/local/bin/sigc-config
checking for libsigc++ - version >= 0.8.5... 1.1.9
checking if libsigc++ sane... no
configure: error: Libsigc++ is required to compile Gtk--. If libsigc++ was installed

/usr/local/lib path in the library config file and run ldconfig.

any help

thanks Martin
