GTK

Hello all,

I am currently running RH enterprise work station. Is GTK installed on there, because if it is, I can't manage to find
it. If not, then how do I go about getting it and installed for use?

Thanks. Please let me know if I forgot any other pertinent information.

If you need to find it and its bits, the easy start way is probably

1. Run "updatedb" from the command line as root
2. type "locate gtk | more"

(those commands without the quotes, of course)

I suspect this will give you plenty of gtk related files to look at...
*grins*. Hit the space bar to see "more"... I don't know if this is what
you need to know, so please don't be insulted if I assumed you wouldn't
know these things...

Hope that helps, at least...

Peter

RE: GTK

Hello Peter,

Thanks for you help. I did install GNOME, I know that for sure. My problems with GTK is that I'm trying to install
Nessus. Keep in mind that I never had a problem running the GUI for nessus, but now that I've moved to RH Enterprise
for the workstation, it can't find GTK (this is a fresh install). This is the error I get:

# sh nessus-installer.sh
The command 'gtk-config' was not found in your $PATH.
The nessus client will be built without its GUI...

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. GTK looks far to complicated for me to even begin to understand. I tried to
install GTK from their main website, but the make file doesn't exist and it won't install. I'm very confused.

Thanks,

Anna

In the Debian packaging system, gtk-config (actually, /usr/bin/gtk-config)
is not part of the main GTK package. It is part of the corresponding -dev
package, the one that mainly provides header files (a bunch of stuff that
goes in /usr/include) for compiling apps. Even if you installed the GTK
libraries themselves (as you must have, if you are running Gnome), you may
not have installed theve -dev files.

Your options are:

1. Install the appropriate -dev package. The relevant Debian package is
named libgtk1.2-dev . Look for something similar in your RH package list.

2. Install a pre-compiled version of nessus instead of compiling it
yourself. Debian has both nessus (the client) and nessusd (the server), so
RH probably has something similar.

RE: GTK

Hi Ray,

Thanks for you help. Ok, this is making more sense now. However, I did try a pre-compiled package of nessus and this
is where the problem is coming in. When I first started with nessus, I complied everything from scratch and really had
no problems. I don't see why the pre-complied stuff is causing such havoc. I tried asking the nessus folks for help,
but they were nasty to me, so I came here. I did find the gtk-devel stuff and will give that a shot. Anything else I
should be thinking of?

Thanks again,

Anna

Nothing comes immediately to mind. But if you do post again, please try to
be as specific as you can about what you are doing and what errors you get.
I didn't reply to your first message about GTK because it was so vague that
I couldn't figure out what your problem was. Your second message included
what you were attempting to do, the actual error you got, and the name of
the script you were running at the time ... and that gave me some shot at
guessing about the problem.

If the nessus script you are running tries to access gtk-config, I'm
surprised that it is a "pre-compiled package of nessus". I don't have
either nessus or nessusd installed hee, but the Debian package claim no
dependency on the -dev package that contains gtk-config. So it would help
(or it might, at least) if you were as specific as you can be about what
you are trying to install and where it comes from (the Nessus upstream
site? Red Hat, as an .rpm? something else?).
