Compiling Glimmer

[Bambi]

I am busy trying to compile Glimmer-1.2.1. I eventuly got ./configure to complete ok, managed to sort out a few problems during the make stage, but now i am stuck. I am getting the error :

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lesd

I am assuming this is an eds library that is missing. I have looked through my Mandrake cd (8.0) but the only thing i can find mentioning esd is xmms-esd1.2.4. What else do i need to get this working?

Cheers

Could it be something to do with the Gnome support libraries?

The Google search results found these hits (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fld%3A+cannot+find+lesd&btnG=Google+Search).

Also maybe the Gnome library paths are not setup in /etc/ld.so.conf (run ldconfig if you do make changes).

Thanks for the suggestions but it still won't work :( I installed esound-devel-0.2.17 without trouble but the configure script still complains about not being able to find the esd-config script. I have also run ldconfig but it still nothing.

Have you searched your filesystem to see if the esd-config script exists?

You ran ldconfig, but did you verify the correct library paths are in /etc/ld.so.conf first?

Anything in the Glimmer install or readme docs to help on this? Does configure have any options for specifying the path to the esd libraries? Anything else in the Google search results that may help? Anything at the Glimmer website to suggest what the exact requirements are?

Sorry... lot's of questions and no answers. I don't even know what Glimmer is.
