[12:27] <jrib> AMD-: hi
[12:27] <jrib> synaptic is a package manager
[12:27] <AMD-> hi jrib:
[12:27] <AMD-> thats what i used to install it
[12:28] <jrib> AMD-: package managers install things in places other than /usr/local.  Anything in /usr/local was installed manually by yourself
[12:28] <jrib> AMD-: so, you have pkg-config installed through the package manager, and that gives you /usr/bin/pkg-config
[12:28] <AMD-> ohh i truly dont remember
[12:28] <jrib> AMD-: But, notice that you also have /usr/local/bin/pkg-config.  And that was *not* installed by the pacakge manager
[12:29] <AMD-> ohh ok
[12:29] <AMD-> any easy way to remove it
[12:29] <AMD-> sudo remove mabe ?
[12:30] <jrib> I don't know how it was installed.  Things that are installed with 'make install' aren't straight forward to remove really.  Usually you can try 'sudo make uninstall' in the same directory that 'sudo make install' was issued, or you can just rm all the files manually
[12:30] <nalioth> be careful
[12:31] <nalioth> jrib: what is the synopsis of the problem?
[12:31] <jrib> AMD-: you can probably add the directories where /usr/bin/pkg-config looks to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH and then the /usr/local/bin/pkg-config will also look there, but I think it's better if you just remove this custom stuff you have in /usr/local
[12:31] <jrib> nalioth: AMD- is compiling http://pastebin.ca/372208 but pkg-config can't find stuff because it's /usr/local/bin/pkg-config instead of the repo pkg-config
[12:32] <AMD-> so im now going to cd to  /usr/local/bin/ and try and run sudo make unistall
[12:32] <nalioth> AMD-: no
[12:32] <jrib> AMD-: that won't work
[12:32] <AMD-> ahhhhhh
[12:32] <jrib> AMD-: how much stuff have you compiled on your own?
[12:34] <AMD-> when i was trying to get this dependency issue sorted... i want looking for them on google i installed some thing like 7 packages
[12:34] <AMD-> by them meaning the  Package requirements (gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0 libglademm-2.4 >= 2.6.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0 )
[12:35] <jrib> AMD-: ls /usr/local/bin    on pastebin please
[12:36] <nalioth> nothing wrong with compiling your own stuff..... BUT it should be done with the right tools
[12:36] <nalioth> !checkinstall
[12:36] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[12:37] <AMD-> i also installed atk-1.0.0                  glib-2.0.0           gtk+-2.0.0
[12:37] <AMD-> cairo-clock-0.3.2          glib-2.12.0          pango-1.0.0
[12:37] <AMD-> cairo-clock-0.3.2.tar.bz2  glib-2.12.0.tar.bz2  pkgconfig-0.14.0
[12:37] <nalioth> oooh
[12:37] <AMD-> that was before tho to do with some thing El's
[12:37] <AMD-> many where not susecfully
[12:37] <AMD-> only the clock was
[12:38] <AMD-> i think*
[12:38] <AMD-> :)
[12:39] <nalioth> AMD-: the only reason you would get 'dependency errors' in the first place would be if you were using non ubuntu packages
[12:39] <AMD-> i see
[12:39] <AMD-> http://pastebin.ca/372331
[12:40] <AMD-> what you asked for ^
[12:40] <nalioth> i see non ubuntu packages in your /usr/local/bin that are critical to the system
[12:40] <AMD-> joking
[12:40] <AMD-> right?
[12:40] <AMD-> lucky i saved a back up of my OS :)
[12:41] <AMD-> shoud i  restore ?
[12:41] <nalioth> restore?
[12:41] <nalioth> have you upgraded your Ubuntu lately?
[12:41] <nalioth> i don't thnik it's upgradable at this point
[12:41] <AMD-> its all in a tar file
[12:42] <nalioth> i don't think that's gonna work to well
[12:42] <nalioth> but to each their own
[12:42] <AMD-> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[12:42] <nalioth> using non ubuntu debs brings in packages that have no update candidate (because they're not Ubuntu packages)
[12:43] <nalioth> leaving the system half-way working and non-upgradable
[12:43] <AMD-> i see i will be very carefull next time
[12:43] <nalioth> when you compile your own libs and such, you are doing the same thing . . .
[12:44] <nalioth> i compile and develop stuff all the time, all the depends are available in the Ubuntu repos
[12:44] <AMD-> so will the backup work i dont see why it wont ?
[12:44] <nalioth> i've never heard of backing up Ubuntu
[12:44] <nalioth> i'd back up your /home/amd-/
[12:45] <AMD-> mabe you can the help me to install what i was try to install in the first place
[12:45] <AMD-> yeh i will
[12:45] <nalioth> yes, we can help
[12:45] <nalioth> jrib knows everything  :D
[12:45] <AMD-> i know
[12:46] <AMD-> hese helping so many people on #ubuntu
[12:46] <AMD-> its amazing
[12:47] <jrib> I don't think you need to reinstall, can't he just wipe /usr/local nalioth ?
[12:47] <nalioth> jrib: if his system is using those glibs, what do you think will happen?
[12:48] <AMD-> i just done a tar cvpzf backup.tgz /home
[12:48] <jrib> nalioth: I think it will be fine, it'll just fall back to the stuff in /usr.  But he won't lose anything by trying before he does the reinstall
[12:49] <nalioth> AMD-: you can rename /usr/local/bin, and restart
[12:49] <AMD-> good idea
[12:49] <AMD-> fingers crossed
[12:49] <jrib> rename /usr/local then
[12:50] <AMD-> rename /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/
[12:51] <AMD-> i could have dont that my self
[12:51] <AMD-> :(
[12:51] <jrib> AMD-: what do you mean?
[12:52] <AMD-> i wanted to rename it myself
[12:52] <AMD-> i have done sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.backup
[12:52] <jrib> k
[12:52] <jrib> try to compile your program now
[12:52] <AMD-> system still working just going for a reboot
[12:53] <AMD-> reboot or ?
[12:53] <nalioth> jrib: one would reboot to clear any usage of the programs in /usr/local
[12:53] <nalioth> AMD-: reboot, please
[12:53] <jrib> k
[12:53] <AMD-> ok great
[12:54] <nalioth> ls
[12:55] <AMD-> ok the backup is done
[12:55] <AMD-> brb
[01:03] <AMD-> hey
[01:03] <jrib> hi
[01:03] <AMD-> im back
[01:03] <AMD-> workd
[01:03] <AMD-> i mean i can log on
[01:03] <jrib> k, what happens when you try ./configure now?
[01:04] <AMD-> my beryl dose not work thou due to the scrips
[01:04] <AMD-> ok one sec
[01:05] <AMD-> checking for pkg-config... no
[01:05] <AMD-> checking for DEPS... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
[01:05] <jrib> AMD-: sudo aptitude install pkg-config
[01:05] <jrib> you removed it before, remember?
[01:05] <AMD-> right
[01:07] <AMD-> checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
[01:07] <AMD-> checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
[01:07] <AMD-> checking for DEPS... configure: error: Package requirements (gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0 libglademm-2.4 >= 2.6.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0 ) were not met:
[01:07] <AMD-> No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found
[01:07] <AMD-> No package 'libglademm-2.4' found
[01:08] <nalioth> AMD-: when it whines, search in apt for waht it wants, install the pkgs ending in -dev
[01:08] <AMD-> i have just found gtkmm-2 dev in sypnatic
[01:10] <AMD-> i did it
[01:10] <AMD-> it worked
[01:11] <AMD-> i didnt know of this place classrom
[01:25] <AMD-> thank you guys
