I wouldn't install to /usr, that area is managed by fedora for you and you are likely to break everything horribly if you start messing with it. The best way to do this, in my opinion, is to install the new gtk to /usr/local/ and then to build and run your app against that. This way you won't disturb your system or any of the other applications you have installed. You need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that your new gtk appears before the system one for apps you build. Put something like this in your .bashrc: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/liib/pkgconfig then at the command-line, try: $ source ~/.bashrc $ pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags and verify that its seeing the version in /usr/local Other stuff to set: - add /usr/local/bin to your path so that you pick up the new versions of any gtk/glib utilities - add /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that your app picks up the gtk/glib libraries at run time - you can add /usr/local/share/man to MANPATH, though I can't remember if gtk still makes man pages John _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
