Problem with install

[ricardo]

I have a problem with the installation of babel svn in debian etch 4.0

When I execute "autogen.sh" displays this error:

./configure: line 20992: syntax error near unexpected token `BABEL,'
./configure: line 20992: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BABEL,'

I don't know what to do.

What version are you trying to install? trunk/ from the SVN?

[ricardo]

Yes. is the trunk version , I updated to day with this command:

svn co https://babel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/babel/trunk babel

then autogen.sh, and the same error:
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
./configure: line 20992: syntax error near unexpected token `BABEL,'
./configure: line 20992: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BABEL,'

Hi,

I believe you're missing pkg-config tool in your system.

To install it on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config

Ouch! Homer Simpson dixit :)

Now, all works fine

In the spanish documentation [ http://www.openideas.info/wiki/index.php?title=Babel:Documentation_es:Installation ] is missing a line in "Prerequisitos", in the software needed to compìle Babel is missing "libglib2.0-dev"

[Manuel Arostegui]

True!
I just added it!

Thank you!

This happens in some cases, resume websites have useful information on the subject.

Next version (already present in SVN) has the server implemented in perl, avoiding problems on compiling. You can try it. In next months we will release Babel 3.0 with new console, new agents and new server.
