Of course not. It's not the job of the GTK+ developers to provide you with binary packages. If you want binary packages, stick to your distribution. > As a Linux newbie I was impressed how functional that Redhat 9 was and had > the impression installing or upgrading a few more apps would be a piece of > cake. Changed my mind a bit on that. Upgrading to recent applications on an outdated distribution like RH9 is of course a challenge, what did you expect? I suggest that instead of attempting to update a few packages you update to a more recent distribution such as FC2 or debian sid.
