In most cases, the very best thing to do is to just use the librariesprovided by your distro (along with their -devel counterparts, if youare going to be writing programs). If you need to use, say, a newer gtkthat what your distro provides, then you really need to build a (rathercomplete) sandbox in which you install the new gtk and all itsdependencies, so that it is isolated from the rest of your system. Thisis what jhbuild lets you do with much ease, for example. -- m -- Mariano Suárez-Alvarezhttp://www.gnome.org/~mariano _______________________________________________gtk-list mailing listgtk-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
