Hi, I would like to know what packages are needed for the installation of gtk. I am unable to compile gtk. every one package asks for others packages and the list goes on... i want to install X windows, GTK, GPE packages. GPE needs GTK, so trying to install gtk. but gtk needs so many other packages. each package down the order some more...... So far i have installed 1) xlibs 2) zlib 3) glib 4) pango 5) atk 6) tiff 7) libpng 8) libjpeg 9) expat lib 10) xft --> cannot compile God only knows how many more are needed ? Does anyone know what packages needed to be intsalled and in what order ?. Simple Steps will help people like me. I dont understand why Xft, fontconfig, freetype are requried ?. Can anyone let me know why each package is needed are what does it do ?. A standard GTK needs what all packages. i suspect i have already installed too many redundant packages. Actually let me know what is absolutely neccessary packages needed ? /J _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
