[SOLVED]Empathy Messenger - Dependencies Issue

Hi,
I wanted to try out empathy, so i added the GSB source as described in the wiki and upgraded the basic packages [gtk,glib etc]. Next, instead of installing the entire gnome desktop, i just installed empathy and deps. However, it is complaining of missing deps.
Code: Select all
empathy: error while loading shared libraries: libcanberra-gtk.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried compiling libcanberra from the source, but configure fails with the below error:
Code: Select all
checking for lt_dladvise_init in -lltdl... no
configure: error: Unable to find libltdl.
Any advice?
Thanks,
ray

It obviously needs another dependency that you don't have: libltdl

Two Questions:
Why arent these dependencies not available in the salix/GSB repos if they're needed?
And where can i find libtdl? I've googled but couldnt really find a source.
EDIT: Found that libltdl is included in aaa_elflibs-13.013-i486-1.txz in slackware, by googling.
This package is locked, but also isnt installed in salx.
Wierd?

libldtl is part of the libtool package.

Perhaps it's looking a for a newer version of the library? Why don't you install the libcanberra package from GSB instead of compiling it?

Configure still says cant find libltdl
Code: Select all
....
checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking ltdl.h usability... yes
checking ltdl.h presence... yes
checking for ltdl.h... yes
checking for lt_dladvise_init in -lltdl... no
configure: error: Unable to find libltdl.
EDIT: i installed libcanberra from GSB, thought it wasnt there..
Shouldnt it be installed as a dep? Anyways, empathy is working.
Thanks a ton

Why should anything from GSB be installed as dep in Salix? We don't maintain GSB
