Problems

[Shawn Haggett]

A warning up first, this is long, and I'm looking for help and not sure if 
this is the right place.  If not please direct me in the right direction and 
ignore this.  I tried posting in the forums, but that didn't get any 
response, so i thought I would try the mailing list...... here it is:

Hi. I'm kinda new to Linux, but I must say this is a great distro. However I'm 
having trouble with a couple of the packages. I'm not sure if I'm in the 
right place, so my appoligies if I'm not. I'm trying to install gnome2. As 
one of the dependencies somewhere it tries to install apmd. However it 
complains about a missing file: 
 
 gcc -c -O2 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -Wall -pipe -I. 
-I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux-2.2/include 
-I /usr/src/linux-2.0/include -DVERSION=\"3.0.2\" 
-DAPMD_PROXY_NAME=\"/etc/apmd_proxy\" apmsleep.c 
 In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:4, 
 from apmsleep.c:52: 
 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/config.h:4:28: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or 
directory 
 apmsleep.c: In function `main': 
 apmsleep.c:122: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit' 
 /usr/include/bits/sigset.h: At top level: 
 apmsleep.c:68: warning: `rcsid' defined but not used 
 make: *** [apmsleep.o] Error 1 
 
 autoconf.h is not on my system anywhere. Also it appears to be looking in the 
linux source tree, instead of the /usr/include, which is where I thought the 
header files were supposed to reside. Is this file generated by something, or 
should it have come with the linux source? 
 
 Also, while I'm here, I'm having another problem. When I try to install 
wxPython it will die, The final gcc produces a whole heap of warnings, with a 
final fatal error:

 src/helpers.cpp: In function `long int wxPyGetWinHandle(wxWindow*)': 
 src/helpers.cpp:1616: `GdkWindowPrivate' undeclared (first use this function)

 src/helpers.cpp:1616: syntax error before `)' token 
 error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 
 
 My C++ isn't very good, but from what I can tell, the final fatal error in 
src/helpers.cpp:1616, there is a declaration of a pointer, but it thinks the 
name used is a function that it can't find for some reason. Also the type of 
the pointer 'GdkWindowPrivate' is complained about as an undeclared function 
also. 
 
 Any help with either of these problems would be great, thanks.
