The GConf package contains a configuration database system.
GConf depends on: oaf-0.6.10, GTK+-1.2.10 and gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0 GConf will utilize: db-3.3.11 and guile-1.4.1 |
Install GConf by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The GConf package contains libgconf libraries.
libgconf libraries provide the functions necessary to maintain the configuration database.
