Trying to install Tracker search application to index my pdf files. [Found recoll's search result page cluttered.] But everytime I try configure before installing, I get the following error - 

checking for LIBTRACKER_BUS... yes
checking for LIBTRACKER_COMMON... yes
checking for LIBTRACKER_DATA... no
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0     >= 2.40.0
                          gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.40.0
                          sqlite3      >= 3.7.9
                          uuid) were not met:

No package 'sqlite3' found
No package 'uuid' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBTRACKER_DATA_CFLAGS
and LIBTRACKER_DATA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I am not sure what package I have to install more for the configuration to happen successfully.

Thanks for any help/suggestion.

  • Do you know that the Recoll result page is fully and easily customizable by the way ? lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/…

  • @medoc - Thanks for pointing to that! I should have searched for it. With this, at least I can give Recoll a try. But still not able to have hands on with Tracker.

Reset to default

Try running sudo apt-get -f install. If this doesn't work you might have to install the packages that are missing manually. However, you could also try adding 3rd party repositories, maybe they serve the packages on ther servers.

  • Tried it, but did not help. I think, there is something to do with LIBTRACKER_DATA, but not sure what :D But thanks for suggesting!
