Glade version 2.6 on RedHat "configure: line 5507: syntax error near unexpected token `PACKAGE, '

[Jerry Liu]

I am new to Linux/GNU-Glade.  Just checked Glade and believe it potentially can be a good tool for my application.  I have Glade version 2.6 (pretty old) on RedHat.

Anyway, after I create a window1 using Glade.  Changed the windows title (only one window with different title) and done.  Try to build it by execute ‘gutogen.sh’ first (not even sure this is the right procedure).  I got some error L.

./configure: line 5507: syntax error near unexpected token `PACKAGE,'

./configure: line 5507: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PACKAGE, $pkg_modules)'

Few questions:

1.      New to Glade.  Is it a widely used Linux GUI IDE?  Wondering how many Linux distro include (use) it?  Looks like our RedHat has it.  I quickly checked and it seems openSUSE, Ubuntu also has it (not 100% sure).

2.      I checked some file in .\src.  Looks like Glade actually generate gtk+ code.  To me that it is a good indication that Glade can support more distros.

3.      How important it is to upgrade Glade version?  If I want to support most popular Linux distro (one of my primary goal), what version of Glade that I should use?  Any particular Linux distro goes well with Glade or they all similar?

4.      About the error above.  Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks for your help J
