I'm new to Linux - Fedora, and having trouble getting gxine loaded. I have it downloaded and when I go to configure it I get: "checking for smjs/jsapi.h... no checking for js/jsapi.h... no configure: error: libjs not found" which would imply it can't find libjs. But when I do whereis libjs I get: "whereis libjs libjs: /usr/lib/libjs.so" I assume that's the right file but gxine doesn't seem to see it. I'm wondering if it's not looking in the right path? Any recommendations on how I might gxine to work? Thx D

Perhaps you should try to reinstall the library. You might find the source code searching at www.gnu.org, or as rpm or src.rpm package on your distribution CD-s. Or, the problem is with the path of your current installed library -ain't the standard one. In this case, when you run ./configure, should append at the command the prefix of your installation. Read ./configure --help for informations about how to do this. Good luck!

I appreciate the recommendation...a little light though...I mean, I left the info on which path my libjs is listed in the post..."/usr/lib"....a very standard library which makes your recommendation: "Or, the problem is with the path of your current installed library -ain't the standard one"...not exactly a good one. As for re-installing the library, I'm not sure I'm following your logic. The file is present as I posted the "whereis" ...so why would I want to re-install the library? - seems to me that it's the program looking in the wrong path...not a misconfigured library. Not much help there eugensth...but thanks for trying... Anyone have some tangible insight? D

It is probably complaining that you don't have the development libraries installed. It's checking for the header file jsapi.h and not libjs.so. Here's something I found on hte net which may help, you may need to change the mozilla version number to reflect your system: 1)Make a symlink of js directory from mozilla: # ln -s /usr/include/mozilla-1.7.12/js /usr/include/js 2)Make a symlink of libmozjs.so to libjs.so to avoid a problem at compilation # ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/libmozjs.so /usr/lib/libjs.so
