Hi, I have the slackware distribution. The package manager showed that both gtk+-1.2.10 and gtk+2-2.2.4 are installed. My ultimate goal is to try and run an application called scim which requires the gtk2-devel package. I thought installing gtk+2.4 would solve the problem but it seems the devel package is already installed (gtk+2-2.2.4). I was wondering what is the difference between the devel package and a regular package?. Thanks I really appreciate your help, Amish --- Jean Bréfort <jean.brefort@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Le vendredi 03 décembre 2004 à 12:35 -0800, amish > gtk a écrit : > > Merci Jean.
