You just need to check /opt /usr/include and /lib /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, $(PREFIX), $LDFLAGS, anything nonstandard in /etc/ld.so.conf on Linux... and that's just for libraries, not includes. The cure is worse than the disease. GTK+ simply expects anyone compiling from source to give it a clean system to run on. If things were broken before it arrived, that can hardly be blamed on GTK+ itself. > While find is a HOG, you are only perhaps doing this once, writing results > to a file in /tmp which can be timestamped for future installed system. /tmp is traditionally cleaned on boot. In certain environments, random files may also get removed by the system administrator if the partition gets full. Incidentally, trying to store *another* file somewhere is going to run into all the same configure problems as finding the files in the first place. -- Chad Daelhousen My opinions are my own, until UB purchases my soul. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
