more re Amanda on Cobalt Raq-4i - 2.6.0 source tree configure fails

Ok well putting the problems with 2.5.2p1 aside for now, I decided to givethe brand new 2.6.0 source tree a go, but it's failed during the configurephase with this:


---- start ----

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.2.0... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/

configure: error: glib not found or too old; Seehttp://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Installation for help


---- stop -----

I don't know if it's possible to upgrade gcc and glibc on the platform inquestion since the OS is pretty much a closed-book deal (and as you'dknow, Sun stopped supporting the entire Cobalt line around 2 years agonow). If anyone can confirm that they've been able to replace gcc andglibc with newer versions, I'll give that a go. I don't think anyone has afree gcc uprade package for the Raq servers bit zeffie.bet orcobaltsupport.com may.

I've considered the radical option of totally replacing the OS (withsomething like Strongbolt Linux) though without a spare system to try thatout on first I'm not keen to do it with my 'production' web server. 8-)

Can anyone suggest what could be done with the 2.5.2p1 source tree tocorrect the compilation problem I outlined in a previous message? I'm notsure if the problem is due to something missing out of a header file, oran unforseen issue with platform-specific parts of the dgram.c code file.


Regards,

Craig.
