This is a collection of known error messages and their solution. Mostly these error messages result from missing dependencies.

a52

Symptom, in this case from building vlc:

configure: error: Could not find liba52 on your system: you may get it from http://liba52.sf.net/. Alternatively you can use --disable-a52 to disable the a52 plugin.

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3:

yast -i liba52-devel

atk

Symptom, in this case from gqcam:

/usr/include/gtk/gtkwidget.h:40:21: fatal error: atk/atk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [gqcam.o] Error 1

Solution, in this case for SUSE Linux 11.3:

cp -r /usr/include/atk-1.0/atk/ /usr/include/

C compiler

~/freeciv-2.1.9 # ./configure 
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
linux-zcx2:~/freeciv-2.1.9 # gcc
If 'gcc' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf gcc
linux-zcx2:~/freeciv-2.1.9 # yast -i gcc-c++

C++ compiler

Problem e.g.:

CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

Solution, e.g. under Debian:

aptitude install build-essential

capabilities.h

Symptom, in this case from building vdr

vdr.c:35:28: fatal error: sys/capability.h: No such file or directory 

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3

yast -i libcap-devel

cairo

Symptom, in this case from building gqcam:

/usr/include/gdk/gdkscreen.h:31:19: fatal error: cairo.h: No such file or directory

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3:

cp /usr/include/cairo/* /usr/include/

DBUS

Symptom, in this case from building vlc:

configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3:

yast -i dbus-1-devel

fribidi

Symptom, in this case from building vlc:

configure: error: Package requirements (fribidi) were not met: 

No package 'fribidi' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FRIBIDI_CFLAGS
and FRIBIDI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3:

yast -i fribidi-devel

gcrypt

Symptom, in this case from building vlc:

configure: error: libgcrypt version 1.1.94 or higher not found. Install libgcrypt or use --disable-libgcrypt. Have a nice day.
