Hi:
I've installed GTK+2.7 on a Madriva 2005, and I didn't remove anything:
that way the systems thinks the old GTK+ version is already installed, so
there's no problem with dependencies. The new libraries overwrite the
old ones, provided that you configure the packages with the
--prefix=/usr option.
And these libraries are binary compatible, so the applications still work.
It worked for me in a transition from GTK+-2.4 to 2.6 in my former Mandrake
system, and now with the change GTK-2.6 to 2.7 (however 2.7 is still a
testing
release, so some times Firefox and Thunderbird crashes)
Regards,
D. Campos

Hi to all,
I have Mandriva and i want to update gtk+.
I've downloaded sources from the web site.
But i need to remove old gtk+. I can't do it from rpmdrake, because rpmdrake
give to me dependencies problems with installed programs.
How can i remove old gtk without uninstalling other programs?
Thanks a lot for the answer.
