Can't Install gtkpod...

[GameGURU]

When I try to install gtkpod I get this message every time:

Package libgpod-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgpod-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgpod-1.0' found
configure: error: ***
See `config.log' for more details.

I installed libgpod-1.0 but it still doesn't work.

As root do ldconfig first and try ./configure on gtkpod again, if that doesnt work:

./configure --help


then look thru that and find out what it wants for options to add where libgpod is located........probably in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include and its looking for it in /usr/lib and usr/include by default

probably have to add a couple lines to ./configure, if that doesnt work, find out where libgpod got installed too and make some symlinks to where gtkpod is looking for them.........dirty but it works, option one above is preferable

Hm, before we get to the gtkpod I am having troubles mounting the iPod.

It says:

mount /mnt/ipod
mount: /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device

Also, when I try to get to it in the System tab, it says the same thing.

My fstab looks like this:

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat rw,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

It's in the USB port and all...whats going on?

 

[horndude]

does the ipod use the fat filesystem?

also check if its in /dev/usb instead

also try to mount it as root just in case

Ok, I've got the iPod mounted, gtkpod installed but whenever I try to put my music on in gtkpod...it tells me this:

Opening of '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' for writing failed.

it has to have write permissions, in linux everything is treated as a file, including devices
