Moving project to Linux (Centos) machine probs with Synfig

Hi, alettames!
The Cent OS 5 is way too old to run synfigstudio packages provided by synfig.org. To run it you need version of glib2 >= 2.18.4 ( a version including ‘libgio*’ ). The version provided with Cent OS 5 is 2.12.3.

I would recommend to use some newer linux distribution, like CentOS 6, Fedora or Ubuntu - you will get much better linux experience. :wink:

If you still decide to stick with CentOS 5, you can try to install new version of glib2 manually. Just issue following commands as root user:

[code]# yum install gettext-devel

wget http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.18/glib-2.18.4.tar.gz

mkdir /usr/local/glib218

tar xvf glib-2.18.4.tar.gz

cd glib-2.18.4/

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/glib218/

make

make install[/code]

After that, everytime you want to run synfigstudio you will need to issue following commands as normal user:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/glib218/lib $ synfigstudio
