xMule installation on redhat9

[codecref]

hi guys
i'm trying to install xMule on my redhat but its terrible in linux (I'm linux newbie) it ask for glib/gtk and also wxWindows 2.4 or greatr so I download wxgtk from wxwidgets.org and after run this command :
./configure --with-gtk

I get this error:
configure: error:
Please check that gtk-config is in path, the directory
where GTK+ libraries are installed (returned by
'gtk-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and GTK+ is version 1.2.3 or above.

I also tried to install wx-gtk-devel-2.5.1-1.i386.rpm but it says:
error: Failed dependencies:
wx-gtk = 2.5.1 is needed by wx-gtk-devel-2.5.1-1
wx-base-devel = 2.5.1 is needed by wx-gtk-devel-2.5.1-1

I couldn't find wx-base-devel 2.5.1 but when I try to install wx-gtk 2.5.1 it says in needs:

error: Failed dependencies:
wx-base = 2.5.1 is needed by wx-gtk-2.5.1-1
libwx_base-2.5.so.1 is needed by wx-gtk-2.5.1-1
libwx_base_odbc-2.5.so.1 is needed by wx-gtk-2.5.1-1


I don't know where to go but I'm really frustrated from these dependencies, why my linux doesn't suppose to have these libraries?

please help me here

Alas, you have discovered why Redhat, with it's pretty installer, good hardware detection, and polished desktop, drove me back to the comfort and use of management of Debian. These damned .rpms and trying to solve dependancies can drive a person crazy. You can look into the 'apt-get' port for Redhat, or try 'yum'. Check out thread619-813097 for a less-than-technical discussion of the matter ;-)

Anyway, you need to have gtk-devel installed. 'gtk-config' comes in that package and is what automake(?) uses to figure out the where's and what versions of gtk libs are installed on the system.

As for the rest of the 'wx-*' stuff, not sure, but I always use

http://rpm.pbone.net/index3.php

(Advanced RPM search) to do rpm-related searches.
