"gthread-2.0 >= 2.10.1 not found" on ubuntu fiesty

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Ok, I’m getting this gthread-2.0 >= 2.10.1 not found" message when trying to compile it using the instructions on the website. Does this mean i need to update gthread? Synaptics says i have the latest version of gthread…I think…

What now?

Hi,

the most common mistake is to forget the development package. You might have installed gthread, but not dev package of it (was also my prblem once).

If this is not your problem, look at synaptics for the exact version installed. I’m sure you can see that somewhere.

some recent but not totally current versions of many distributions do not include a new enough version of glib to allow compilation of ardour. it doesn’t mean that you can’t run ardour if you have such a system, but it does mean that you can’t compile it. what version does synaptics say is installed?

#4

funny thing that. Can’t seem to find a package related to “gthread” or “libgthread” on my (Feisty) system. But libgthread-2.0 is installed (as per “locate libgthread”, and ardour2-rc1 compiles OK. Good luck. Can anyone remember the command to find out which .deb provides a particular file?

ok, i got rid of the glib thing, but now it’s doing it with librdf saying that 0.4.0 wasnt found. i installed all the versions of it in synaptic, and yeah…nothing…

any ideas?

#6

nevermind. i think i have this crap down. i installed stuff named librdf not liblrdf…damn syntax…

#7

could that be version 1.0.4.1? I have that, (came with feisty) and it works, as I said. I’m sure you know from http://ardour.org/building that you need the respective developers packages “packagename-dev” in most cases.
For me, building ardour for the first time was a long cycle of

  1. run scons until it gets stuck
  2. scroll back to the first “error” (later errors are not useful), try to figure what header file is missing
  3. google for the header file, guess what package is needed
  4. apt-get install it, or use synaptic
  5. repeat until scons doesn’t get stuck any more!
#8

ok, i think this may be the last thing…

it says the system has no functional C++ compiler. where do i get that from?

#9

On debian based systems, you should install a package called “build-essential”. You’re probably really missing the C++ compiler, build-essential will make sure both gcc (for C) and g++ (for C++) are installed.

#10

I just stumbled upon this thread. I have installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 and had the same problem with gthread.

Just install the libglib2.0-dev from the Synaptic Manager.
