And if you insist you do not understand Perl, read perldoc perlre - this can be also found on the WEB. If you do not have 'perldoc' installed, man perlre should work too. I'm telling you to read the manual because that's what I did to solve the problem in my tool. --Sergei. Well Sergei I ran configure and make. This compiled fine and I ran make install. The makefile tried to install with install -C. So I tried install -D with all the binaries. Everything seems to be installed but there are no libraries. I get the same error I've been getting running gtk's configure.
