A problem with compiling the latest version of Orca screen reader on F 33 and Rawhide

[Francisco Tissera]

Hello everyone,

The problem I'v having is this:

When i clone orca into the orca directory, cd to it, and run 
./autogen.sh, everything goes ok, eccept...

configure: error: Package requirements (pygobject-3.0 >= 3.18) were not met:
Package 'pygobject-3.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYGOBJECT_CFLAGS
and PYGOBJECT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
[francisco@Blueblink orca]$

I tried reinstalling the packages, but funny thing is, that the packages 
were already there. i also tried some pip solutions I found on the web, 
but, as you can see, none of them worked out that well.

Has anyone encountered this missing library thing somewhere? if so, how 
would I go about fixing it?

Thanks for any answer.

Best regards.

Francisco

Do you have all of these installed?  I suspect you are missing the
-devel package

python3-gobject-3.40.0-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
python3-gobject-base-3.40.0-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
python3-gobject-devel-3.40.0-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm

As you can see, the versions are >= 3.18

If you do, then as the message says, they are not in your path.  This
seems unlikely.  Just a warning: installing locally built from source
binaries in the standard locations usually leads to all sorts of
trouble.  You are better off installing in /usr/local/ and then
adding it to your path to make sure they are found.  This way the
package manager doesn't get confused.

sure all the packages you listed were installed, and htey were, it 
works, thanks.

Best regards.
