I can make > and install glib and atk, but pango's configure reports: [snip] I'm probably not going to be able to get pango compiling on your box, but I can offer some advice in terms of upgrading libraries to support new versions of software that depends on a newer version of a library than what you currently have installed. Try to find a packaged version (rpm in your case) of these libraries for your OS ! Google is your friend... Unless you know exactly what you are doing just doing a 'make' and a 'make install' is not going to work. Your OS is setup with search paths for libraries which don't include the locations where a 'make install' normally puts the files (in /usr/local). Nor should /usr/local normally be included either. Running make install as root without knowing exactly what files gets installed where is not a good idea. If you insist on compiling from source you should setup an area that you have wrie access to as a normal user (you homedir for example) and then use the --prefix option to configure to make sure the compiled software is installed there and not in /usr or /usr/local, Then work with PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CFLAGS, CCFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and friends to ensure that subsequent builds that you want to have use your new libraries finds them correctly. Do this work as a regular user and not as root. -- Daniel Nilsson _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
