CodeBlocks in RHEL 4

[praetor]

Our previous production release is shipped with RHEL 4.

I have had a lot of success with CodeBlocks in windows and RHEL 5, but I can't get it to run on my old development machine running RHEL 5 (which of course I need to get work done on this week).

When I try to configure CodeBlocks, it requires WxWidget.  WxWidget needs GTK+:
     checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
     checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
     *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...

When I try to configure GTK+, I find it needs another version of glib:
    checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements
     (glib-2.0 >= 2.23.6    atk >=  1.29.2    pango >= 1.20    cairo >= 1.6) were not met:
    Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.23.6' but version of GLib is 2.4.7

I am less confident messing with glib, as there are 5 other developers on this machine and I fear I will cause damage to the underlying operating system.  I encountered basically the same result using version 8 of Code Blocks. 


What would be the quickest way for me to get Code Blocks running on this machine? 

Suggestions, Concerns, welcome...

What is the wxGTK version on RHEL 4?
There is a possibility that C::B can't be build with wx older that 2.8.x, where x >= 6 (here I'm just guessing)

Code::Blocks for RHEL >= 4 is packaged in the Fedora EPEL repository, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

I couldn't build/install wxWidget because of the GTK/glib dependency.  Here is what rpm tells me is installed related to these two packages:

[castel@ESPSWT01 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep "^gtk[+2]"
gtk2-engines-2.2.0-7.el4
gtk2-2.4.13-24.el4
gtk+-1.2.10-36
[castel@ESPSWT01 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wxGTK
[castel@ESPSWT01 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wx
[castel@ESPSWT01 ~]$

I found the sources for CodeBlocks in the EPEL repository and will try to build that.  Hopefully, it doesn't have the same dependencies...

You don't have build anything, it's all built there, C::B 10.05, wxGTK 2.8.11 and all the needed dependencies, just install and enjoy.

SharkCZ gets the brass ring here.  I downloaded the following RPMs (i386 builds for the target machine in question) and installed them in the same order:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4ES/i386/wxBase-2.8.11-1.el4.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4ES/i386/wxGTK-2.8.11-1.el4.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4ES/i386/codeblocks-libs-10.05-1.el4.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4ES/i386/codeblocks-10.05-1.el4.i386.rpm

Works great!  Thanks!
