Try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the $PREFIX/lib directory where glib's shared libraries are. Running `ldconfig /path/to/glib/ lib` may help also. Also, you don't need to edit configure at all - I merely ment that it would be helpful for debugging if you posted the output from configure (or at least the relevant error messages) for us to read. - Michael _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
