Configure make gnome commander - no glib 2.6.0

Question

Trying to install gnome commander on RHEL 7.4

Already went past some missing dependencies during ./configure however I'm stuck on this error :

checking if glib >= 2.6.0 exists... configure: error: no

sudo yum install glib does not find anything, I'm not really sure how to proceed.

Any help?

Answer 1

When you try to compile a program by yourself then dependent library sources have to be available on the target system. The names of these library source packages often contain the suffix "-devel". So try to install the glibc sources via

sudo yum install glibc-devel

There might come up other dependency issues, but they can be solved with the same strategy.
