I had the same problems on a Solaris 9 machine. I eventually got gtk to compile but never got it to run - got a runtime error when running the gtk test program about needing to configure fonts. I decided to stick with gtk 2.2.x for now and hope that maybe newer versions of Solaris will come with everything I need. I think there are the files I downloaded and compiled but don't remember the order: render-0.8.tar.gz xrender-0.8.3.tar.gz fontconfig-2.2.2.tar.gz xft-2.1.2.tar.gz pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.gz and then the usual glib, pango, atk, gtk. If you get it working, please let me know. Dave _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
