libgpod3 + gtkpod
 |
Alright, so I got libgpod3 installed, finally! However, it isn't seen by my system.
However:
And, when trying to install gtkpod from source, I get the error:
Is there some symbolic or hard link I can make to get this to work? Thanks in advance.

alex@alex-laptop:~/Desktop$ whereis libgpod3 libgpod3:
However:
alex@alex-laptop:~/Desktop$ ls /usr/lib/libgpo* /usr/lib/libgpod.so.3 /usr/lib/libgpod.so.3.0.0
And, when trying to install gtkpod from source, I get the error:
checking for LIBGPOD... no configure: error: *** No package 'libgpod-1.0' found See `config.log' for more details.
Is there some symbolic or hard link I can make to get this to work? Thanks in advance.

Libraries aren't executable in the same way that binaries are; really, they're just object files containing a few useful structures and routines that can be used by other software. As such, there is no reason to add library directories to the PATH variable, instead, they're usually added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH.
The thing that makes me suspicious is the error message: "No package 'libgpod-1.0' found". Apparently it's looking for libgpod-1.0, while you've installed libgpod 3. I don't know anything about libgpod, but it could be that it's looking for a different version of the library.
The first thing I'd recommend doing is making sure you have the generic name of the library (in this case, simply libgpod.so). So what you need to do is make a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libgpod.so.3 to /usr/lib/libgpod.so:
If that doesn't work, I'd say it requires libgpod version 1.

ln -s /usr/lib/libgpod.so.3 /usr/lib/libgpod.so

Still, same error. But that's odd, because I've used gtkpod with libgpod3 before.
Also, Amarok can't compile with libgpod3 either. It doesn't pass through the configure script. It completely ignores --with-libgpod, like it isn't even there.

Hmm. What is the output from the following commands?
$ find / -name "libgpod*.pc" $ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."

And what does your config.log look like? You don't have to post the whole thing if it's long, but post anything that looks suspicious and any error messages.

I'll upload it. This is from the libgpod install.

Sorry, I meant the config.log from the gtkpod compilation attempt.
"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."
Okay. Attached.
EDIT: But wait. I was running autogen.sh, not configure.

autogen.sh is a script that uses the autoconf/automake tools to first generate a configure script, after which it calls the configure script.
The critical part from the config.log file is here:
For some reason, the libgpod install script didn't install the libgpod-1.0.pc file (as it's clearly present in the source you downloaded). What you should probably do is find your pkg-config directory (usually /usr/local/lib/pkg-config or /usr/lib/pkg-config, try searching around), then set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to that directory. Then try running autogen.sh again.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgpod-1.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgpod-1.0' found
