libgnomecanvas-2.8.0

Optional

GTK-Doc-1.2

Installation of GAIL

Install GAIL by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` \
    --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

GTK+ will look for the GAIL modules in /usr/lib even if $GNOME_PREFIX is NOT /usr. Create a symlink to $GNOME_PREFIX to satisfy this requirement:

ln -sf `pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/lib/gtk-2.0/modules \
    /usr/lib/gtk-2.0
