checking for imlib2-config... /usr/bin/imlib2-config
checking for imlib2 - version >= 1.1.2... ./configure: line 8199: test: 1.002: integer expression expected
yes
checking for imlib2... checking for imlib2 - version >= 1.2.0... ./configure: line 8274: test: 1.002: integer expression expected

You are right, that is most likely your problem. adesklets expects you to link against a recent (>=1.1.2) version of Imlib2 (as stated in the documentation). From what I read, you have on your system something significantly older (1.002); it went undetected by the configure script because the naming scheme used changed about 2 and a half years back. You can check this by doing:

Code:


imlib2-config --version


I had this exact same problem (identically garbled output on yab) with Tim Schutte, our moderator, a few months back. Just upgrading Imlib2 to a recent version made it go away. Let us know if it doesn't solve your problem (but I am pretty confident it will). Regards,

Code:

 imlib2-config --version
1.2.0.002
is this too old? i guess not ?

No, it is perfectly right. But I would bet, from your screen dump, that you still have an older (pre-1.1.2) version lying somewhere on your system and being linked against... What is the result of this, under bash (I assumed you had a glibc-based system)?

Code:


ls -l  $(dirname $(gcc -Wl,-t $(imlib2-config --libs) 2>&1 | sed -n '/Imlib2/{s/.*(\(.*\))/\1/;p}'))/libImlib2*


I ran all imlib2-1.2.0.xxx version, as I am keeping myself up to date on cvs, and I never experienced this... If we cannot find the problem from previous suggestions, I am ready to investigate things further, but we will need to set up something privately. Just drop me an email if you are interested (syfou@users.sourceforge.net).
