Thanks to all and especially Anthony who kept this thread going on my behalf during the early hours of the morning. Having looked a bit deeper into the background of the problem, it appears that /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc does not get updated during the make install process. But this seems to be a moot point in that manually installing the updated file appears to make no difference to the build of atk. Life is too short to become intimately familiar with how the compiler and linker work beyond what is required to successfully build the vast majority of applications. I shall reserve a place on my hard drive for Gimp2.1, and by that time hopefully its dependencies will actually compile. Thanks for everyone's assistance. matt _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
