The problem of running tauri on centos8
Hello everyone. I deployed tauri on centos8, but the following error occurred when using "yarn tauri dev",

error: failed to run custom build command for glib-sys v0.10.1
--- stderr
"pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "glib-2.0" "glib-2.0 >= 2.44" did not exit successfully: exit status: 1
--- stderr
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package'glib-2.0', required by'virtual:world', not found
Package'glib-2.0', required by'virtual:world', not found

Is the cause of this error missing gtk on my system? Do you have an effective way to solve this problem?
Thank you.

did you install the system dependencies listed here https://tauri.studio/en/docs/get-started/setup-linux#1-system-dependencies ?

[hanxiaohuivc]

I have successfully installed them.

[amrbashir]

you also need to install gtk on the machines that will run the app, which you said you didn't install.

[hanxiaohuivc]

Yes, I did not install gtk.

Finally, I successfully installed tauri on centos7, provided that glibc is upgraded to 2.3. It is estimated that it should work on centos8.

As reference for other people that might land on this issue. I had to install gtk manually and restart my terminals/vscode

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

Afterwards it worked.

In my case, the same error was caused by build conflict with homebrew (see https://tauri.app/v1/guides/faq/#build-conflict-with-homebrew-on-linux)
I solved it by uninstalling the homebrew but another solution (according to the above page) is to change the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
