Happy to report all egg removed from face! Have the gtk+-2.0 tutorial, and compiled 'helloworld.c' without a hitch. So I figured I'd do the same with the demos at the end: tictactoe, gtkdial, and scribble-simple. Wrong. Cut and pasted each into a separate directory, three files each: header, test and code. Each of these spews what looks to be simple coding errors at compile time. Are these known to be problematic, and if so, can someone point me to the fixes? I don't know enough about gtk, much less gtk-2.0, to handily correct them. Do I need to post the errors? Thanks for reading, Bill Tallman _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
