Hi,

Sorry for posting that again, but at least from here, the post in question
got lost in the recent hate-spam flood.

Anyway. On my old 10.0 install I had a nifty little app called gtkcdlabel, a
GTK frontend for cdlabelgen, which I used almost daily to print CD covers
in a matter of minutes, if not seconds.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work on Slack 10.2. After checking
the sparse info via Google, I managed to compile it, but now, there is no
Preview function, which makes the app more or less useless.

Anyone managed to make this thing work? Suggestions very welcome.

I used to have it on 10.0 and I cannot get it to work on 10.1. In your case
could it be because gnome has been dropped. Mine complains about gnome
libraries being missing.

Having nothing better to do I gave this a try.

It worked for me, but I have freerock gnome installed (full install) on
10.2 with kernel 2.6.13 - not that the kernel matters much.

I first installed just gtkcdlabel 1.0pre7 expecting to have issues, but it
compiled fine and complained at start-up about not having cdlabelgen which
I then installed - this perl script and the gtklabelgen binary are
located in /usr/local/bin

I imagine that the freerock install satisfied the gnome lib dependencies
as Ian suggested might be missing in the stock slack install.

I will post the output of ldd /usr/local/bin/gtkcdlabel for you so you can
see what it needs. Perhaps that will help you get the dependencies
installed without a big download on dialup.

Thanks for doing this work. I am a bit puzzled by the alphabet soup output
of ldd. How would a pro go about to find all the dependencies? My haphazard
approach would be: 1) check if the library is included in my machine
(whereis libxml, whereis libglade) 2) Wonder how I could get the missing
libraries, e. g. what the corresponding tarballs are called 3) hope that
these libraries in turn don't have toooooo many dependencies in their turn.

More generally, I wonder if I will need a full-blown gnome install just to
make this little app work.

I don't want to install FRG (though I have a CD here), because despite what
it says, it IS intrusive: depends Slack packages by other versions, plus I
don't really want all the HAL and dbus stuff.

What work? Took all of 10 minutes. Wanted to check out the app anyway.

Being equally non-pro, my approach would be (has been) the same.

Hard to say. Like I said, I allready had all the libs due to FRG.
Not knowing what you might have added on your own allready I thought a
complete list might help you decide if it was worth the effort to take on
the search and destroy mission.

If you have the FRG CD, just look for the TGZs that correspond to the libs
output from my ldd and installpkg them one by one until ldd doesn't list
any missing ones.
