Well I started over again installed pkg-config. Set the variable in .bash_profile and installed glib fine. Then I tried atk. Atk could find pkgconfig but not glib. I set the LD_CONFIG_LIB or something like that variable that didn't work. I tried setting the path in ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. That didn't work. I looked into Sergei's tool and couldn't get anywhere there either. I have X installed too. I tried pkg-config --cflag glib-2.0 and got part of a compiler line but I don't know where to put it. pkg-config --lib glib-2.0 gave me part of a line to use with gcc too but I'm trying to get configure to work. I've tried all I know to try. Bill _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
