[Mrtrix-discussion] having trouble building on CentOS 6

[Henry Mensch]

I'm on a CentOS 6 system:

Linux musca 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 20 11:05:23 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I'm trying to build … the build fails early with these errors:

[root at musca mrtrix-0.2.10]# ./build

[root at musca mrtrix-0.2.10]# rpm -q -a | grep -i glibmm

^P[root at musca mrtrix-0.2.10]# rpm -q -a | grep -i gtkmm

[root at musca mrtrix-0.2.10]# rpm -q -a | grep glibmm
glibmm24-2.22.1-1.el6.x86_64

You can see that the libraries it seems to want have RPMs installed … 

and the libraries are actually present:

[root at musca mrtrix-0.2.10]# find /usr -name libglibmm\* -print
/usr/lib64/libglibmm-2.4.so.1
/usr/lib64/libglibmm-2.4.so.1.2.0
/usr/lib64/libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1
/usr/lib64/libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1.2.0

so it looks like the real problem is that there are no entries in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig for these libraries. 

SO: how do I get around this?
