Description Mr.Mizzen 2007-04-30 22:50:55 CEST
CentOS 5 system with Gnome desktop.

xfce 4.4.1 GUI installer reports vte (0.11.11) fail, 

rpm -q vte
reports vte-0.14.0-2.el5

Have a work around for this?
Comment 1 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2007-04-30 22:58:12 CEST
Assuming you mean Xfce, not XFC...

Likely you just need the vte-devel package or whatever installed.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2007-05-01 07:40:00 CEST
What does "pkg-config --modversion vte" reports?

"rpm-q vte" is somehow irrelevant here, what matters is "rpm -q vte-devel". The installer is a source installer, it means it compiles the software on your system. You need to have all the required "devel" packages, not just the runtime libraries.

Many thanks for the fast replies

This is on my Test / Devel box and "rpm -q vte-devel" reported the higher version also.
After removing vte-devel, then reinstalling, the GUI accepted all the requirements and completed the Xfce install.
So, something was mangled with with my libraries - 
Good thing your installer caught that. 
(Though now I wonder what other libs are corrupted on that box)

Changed to resolved.
