I have a need to use the gtkmozembed widget, but cannot get it to  
compile. My machine is an x86\_64 running Fedora Core 6.

[alan@erie gtkmozembed]$ export PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig  
[alan@erie gtkmozembed]$ ruby extconf.rb  
checking for GCC… yes  
checking for rb\_define\_alloc\_func()… yes  
checking for rb\_block\_proc()… yes  
checking for new allocation framework… yes  
checking for attribute assignment… yes  
xulrunner-gtkmozembed is not found.  
firefox-gtkmozembed is found.  
checking for gtk±2.0… yes  
checking for firefox-gtkmozembed… yes  
checking for G\_PLATFORM\_WIN32… no  
checking for main() in -lgtkembedmoz… no  
\*\*\* extconf.rb failed \*\*\*  
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of  
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more  
details. You may need configuration options.

It complains that it doesn’t find xulrunner-gtkmozembed, but…

[root@erie ruby-gnome2-all-0.16.0]# ls  
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/\*gtkmozembed.pc  
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/firefox-gtkmozembed.pc  
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xulrunner-gtkmozembed.pc

The only thing I can think of is that after downloading xulrunner and  
trying to “register-global”, it complained that it couldn’t find  
libstdc++.so.5. I pointed it to the copy in /usr/lib64, but it didn’t  
like it, so I copied the libstdc++.so.5 from my vmware installation to  
the xulrunner directory and it worked just fine, creating  
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xulrunner-gtkmozembed.pc. It is possible that  
gtkmozembed just doesn’t like it for some reason. I am attaching the  
mkmf.log file with the hope that it may mean something to you.

Thanks for your help.  
Alan

Indeed it only finds a 32 bits firefox (and finds some 32 bits versions  
of some other libs) while you are building for x86\_64
