How to install on 64 bits system?

do you have *-devel packages of gtk installed? you need them for compilation

I've installed the lib64devel packages but no luck...
And, I can't install the gtk+2.0 devel packages because they are 32 bits, and they conflict with the 64 bits libs in the system

don't you think it is better to ask about gtk software compilation on mandriva support forum? As I know nobody of Gloobus developers uses Mandriva. On ArchLinux compilation goes just fine, on Ubuntu there is libgtk2.0-dev amd64 package and no problem with compilation
I can see here that there is a lib64gtk2.0 package
http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/advisories?name=MDVA-2010:157
so I suppose you are doing something wrong ( wrong package name? )

The fact is, there IS a package with similar name but reasons that I don't know it does not install no matter what.
I asked here because it could be the GTK_CFLAGS and/or GTK_LIBS flags misconfigured or something....
I'll try to solve on my own.

PS: BTW, I had no idea that no one used mandriva.

it does compiles even on fedora

don't think it is a flags problem

you just need to install a long list of dependencies

Got tired of installing/cleaning/trying process. It's just time consuming and leads me to nowhere.
Thanks for the replies of trying to solve the problem though

Oh btw, I cannot get the setup.py to work no matter what (it is supposed to be exec directly? Or not?)

setup.py ???
./autogen.sh
make
make install (or, sudo make install, if you use sudo)

Ok now I tried to install by install-sh, BUT, for reasons that I don't know how to install it, since, as said on the readme, run the chmod command (for obvious reasons) and then execute install-sh, but always says that "No input file specified".
I just followed the instructions, nothing else...

PS: Autogen? Do you mean install-sh?

screw readme :D something wrong there
do this:
download this file
http://pastebin.com/7bKYSiij
and save it somewhere as noloaders.patch
open console and run
$ bzr branch lp:gloobus-preview
$ cd gloobus-preview
$ patch -Np1 -i /path/to/noloaders.patch
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install

remember before doing this you need to install bazaar and all packages from
this list:
libgtk2.0-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
libcairomm-1.0-dev
libtag1-dev
libpoppler-glib-dev
libgnomeui-dev
libgtksourceview2.0-dev
libspectre-dev
libdjvulibre-dev
libswfdec-0.8-dev
libbz2-dev
libdbus-glib-1-dev

obviously package names may be slightly different in mandriva repositories
if you have errors, post them here

and good luck :D

Nope, just forget it. For some reason some of the packages just won't install because it says that they depend of older packages, and, even using the --force option on urpmi, it will not work.
I'll just wait for 2010.0 and see if something changes.

For the time being I have a machine that is going to be installed the latest ubuntu. I'll install there and give it a try.
