I know unix well, but am relatively new to Red Hat and Linux. I tried googling "gadmin red hat", "gadmin rhel packages", and a number of other variants, and couldn't find packages for gadmin-proftpd for rhel6, which is what prompted me to install from source. Are they out there? most linux distributions these days split software libraries into two separate but related packages. 1 package exists for the purpose of just being able to run programs that use the library. the other (the "-devel" or "-dev", depending on the distro) package is needed to be able to *build* a program (or other library) that uses the library. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
