Ive already got V2.2.8 and have found the new version, V3.
I want to install it but would like to go over the commands to do it properly.
The website http://www.glabels.org/doc/install-src/
Commands to install (Note; I’m changing the 2.x.x to a 3.x.x)
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgnomeui-dev libxml2-dev libglade2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libebook1.2-dev (optional)
tar xvfz glabels-2.2.x.tar.gz
cd glabels-2.2.x
./configure
make
sudo make install
Am I doing it correct?
OK, this is tested as working in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit -
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential libgtk-3-dev libgnomeui-dev libxml2-dev libglade2-dev intltool gnome-doc-utils librsvg2-dev libebook1.2-dev
Now download the glabels-3.0.0.tar.bz2 file and put it in your home folder.
then
cd ~
then
tar -xjvf glabels-3.0.0.tar.bz2
then
cd glabels-3.0.0
then
./configure
and if no errors are reported:
make
then
sudo make install
Then because some libraries end up in the wrong place … also run these 2 commands:
sudo cp -v /usr/local/lib/libglabels* /usr/lib/
then
sudo cp -v /usr/local/lib/libglbarcode* /usr/lib/
Problem on the ‘make’ command (near the bottom)

peter@Petes-ubuntu-pc:~/glabels-3.0.0$
I’ve modified the first command in my last posting … I’d named the libgtk-3-dev package incorrectly.
delete the glabels-3.0.0 directory with:
rm -v ~/glabels-3.0.0
then start again from the beginning of my last posting.
but that first command should have thrown up an error … you MUST look for errors and let us know what they are.
peter@Petes-ubuntu-pc:~/glabels-3.0.0$ rm -v ~/glabels-3.0.0
rm: cannot remove `/home/peter/glabels-3.0.0’: Is a directory
peter@Petes-ubuntu-pc:~/glabels-3.0.0$
Shall I delete it manually?
Sorry, forgot the -r (recursive) option 
You can either delete it manually, or run:
rm -rv ~/glabels-3.0.0
Done…
So I redo the commands in your first posting…
Yup… obviously you can skip the downloading part if you still have glabels-3.0.0.tar.bz2 in your home directory.
the first command will say that most of it is already installed, but run it anyway, cause it’s going to want to install a lot of other stuff too.
same again on the ‘make’
You REALLY need to look for errors in the output from commands …there are nearly always clues to what’s missing … in this case there were missing packages you were being warned about when running the ./configure command, so the makefile never got created 
OK, modified again … there are 3 more packages that are needed … then it WILL install, but won’t work until you copy some libraries that got put in the wrong place.
so, delete the glabels-3.0.0 directory again … and follow the modified instructions.
The instructions here:
http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=9758.msg69756#msg69756
are now TESTED as working in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit
All looking good so far
but these 2 commands didnt work, no such file or directory
Then because some libraries end up in the wrong place … also run these 2 commands:
Code: [Select]
sudo cp -v /usr/local/lib/libglabels* /usr/lib/
then
Code: [Select]
sudo cp -v /usr/local/lib/libglbarcode* /usr/lib/
Does it work ? … are you using 64bit Ubuntu 11.10 ?
if it doesn’t work, run:
glabels-3
and post the output.
I am using 64bit
glabels-3
Command not found
I cant really tell you when I get errors as I don’t know what I’m looking for
Delete the directory again … and try again.
and this time LOOK FOR ERROR MESSAGES, and post the here … without the errors I CANNOT help you.

so run:
make
then
sudo make install
looks like it did more than last time, hopefully thats a good sign.
I was going to cut n paste it all here for you but it doesn’t keep it all in the terminal window.
[EDIT]
peter@Petes-ubuntu-pc:~$ glabels-3
glabels-3: error while loading shared libraries: libglabels-3.0.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

???
So is it working ?
if necessary, just post the last say 10 lines or so … because it will halt on an error.
I’ve rebooted since :o
Do you want me to delete and redo again?
up to you.
