Mageia forum

If I understand correctly to connect my Archos G9 I need to install MTP. I downloaded the tarball. The "./configure" command gives an error message "unknown etc." okay there's sometimes no need. Next "make" results in a list of errors as none of the needed libraries can be detected, gtk, gconf etc. These are already installed but how to declare the path? The suggested PKG_CONFIG_INFO variable exists where?
Would someone have a rpm or another solution?
*ps:tablet connects ok with Win7.

Well, there's libmtp and libmtp-utils, and also the kernel checks for MTP devices, why do you want to compile it?
Please open a terminal, run the following command as root:

Code: Select all

tailf /var/log/messages

wait some seconds and then plugin your tablet,
and wait again some seconds, and post the output here. But please in a Code-block, that's what the Code-button above the forum is for.

Not wishing to be picky but shouldn't the command be

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/messages

They both do the same thing and the Doktors saves two key strokes.

Well what do you know, so it does.
I've never used it that way since starting with Mandrake 9.something.

Nope, actually tailf saves more than two keystrokes, f.ex. it does not poll a file constantly, even if it doesn't change, which is what tail -f does.
