Please. Please help. This is so frustrating. It would help if you read the docs. Docs you should read in particular are ldconfig(8), pkg-config(1) and http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-compiling.html Sven _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
