I am only asking that you show us what problems exactly you have when building gtk+, so that we can help you to solve them. Saying that there are "a lot of problems" doesn't help at all and is what I would consider spreading FUD. We are trying to move GIMP development along and we will need to use GTK+-2.6 to make this happen. So it should be our goal to make sure that all developers update glib and gtk+. Telling them that this update will cause problems, but not saying what problems these are, doesn't help anyone. It's been a while since I tried it (when GIMP 2.2 came out), so I don't remember for certain what happened. It may have even been something getting confused about /usr vs. /usr/local (in which case it wouldn't be a GTK problem at all), but I honestly don't remember. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
