Re: [be] compile issues

[Lance W. Haverkamp]

Hi,

I'm an end-user, not a developer.  Trying to install Bibledit on something more 
current & reliable than Debian or Ubuntu have been lately.   

There seems to be no package for Bibledit in most of the Distributions that 
have worked well for me (Arch or Suse); so I'm trying to compile it.  Other 
than having very little idea of what I'm doing, I'm getting the following error 
from OpenSuse:
configure: error: libgtkhtml3 development version >= 3.8.0 is needed.

I installed libgtkhtml-dev, but the current versions are well into 4.x, not 
3.x.  Is that my problem, is the source code calling for an older version?  If 
so, I suspect this was the same problem I was having with Arch Linux last week. 
 


If version 4.4.x will work, how do we get the compiler to stop insisting on the 
older "3" version?



Thanks,
Lance
