If you are not confident in what you are doing e.g. playing with library path you will be into troubles later, even if I tell you now how to solve this problem. > I'm still newbie in linux.

Thank you My suggestion is to use apt-get to update your system and avoid to install libraries from source in a different path than the system one. If you _really_ want to install from source and mess up your system I will tell you how to do it, but think about it al least three times :) happy new year cheers -- Gian Mario Tagliaretti http://www.parafernalia.org/pygtk/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
