Description David Martin 2005-12-29 20:37:29 UTC 
gnome-config is only aware of a small set of libraries.
For example:
"gnome-config --libs gnomecanvaspixbuf"
fails even though both the library and development version are installed.

Enterint "gnome-config" at the command prompt should list many available libraries, but it only lists a few.

Due to this bug I cannot develop or compile many gnome applications.

It works for me. You probably did not install gdk-pixbuf-devel package.

sbrabec@hammer:~> gnome-config --libs gnomecanvaspixbuf
-rdynamic -L/opt/gnome/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lgdk_pixbuf -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgnomecanvaspixbuf

gnome-config is deprecated and libraries newer that 3 years don't support it any more. Use pkg-config instead.

It is OK that gnome-config lists only a few libraries. Most GNOME1 libraries were dropped in time of SuSE Linux 9.0, the rest was removed from devel selection.
