Well, I've been for some time trying to compile the source of AbiWord (I 
know the package is available; just trying to do it myself) . Now, when 
I run ./configure it gives the following missing packages.


Quote:
No package 'fribidi' found
No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
No package 'gobject-2.0' found
No package 'libgsf-1' found
No package 'wv-1.0' found
No package 'cairo-pdf' found
No package 'cairo-ps' found
No package 'pangocairo' found
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'gtk+-unix-print-2.0' found
No package 'librsvg-2.0' found

In my /usr/lib folder there are already the glib-2.0 and gtk2.0 folders 
present. and most of the programs installed in my pc require gtk to run 
properly. So, I definitely have it installed. Then why is the error? I 
see the configure script searches for dep.s in /usr/lib/pkgconfig; which 
doesn't have the missing packages.

does it require those .pc files? and I'll have to install each and every 
missing packages with apt-get?



ok..so I already got those missing dependencies installed and abiward 
installation was successful, but

sudo checkinstall

didn't work, i.e. installation failed.

I had to do

sudo checkinstall --fstrans=0

but after successful installation (as checkinstall said) abiword isn't 
opening.

while running the configure script after downloading the dependencies, 
it said some of the required packages didn't met the version 
requirements.may it have to do anything with this problem( abiword not 
opening).  How am I supposed to prevent apt-get from downloading 
outdated archives?
