I usually compile my packages plain vanilla - no added parameters. Over and over I keep seeing references to "gobject-2.0". Yet when I look in the glib RPM files I don't see such a name - folder or file. Please advise as to where you have hidden this wumpus so that I may find it and create a fresh GTK. Thanks, Kay-Sugg P.S. The messages below are sandwiched between hyphen lines so that one can jump over them when desired. R P.P.S.
