Tried this - no luck. > If GTK+ was installed some place other than /usr/local, the > gtk-engine's README file explains what to do: > I am just using GTK (no gnome) on a sparc/Solaris8 system. I install everything (atk, glib, pango, gtk, gtk-engines) into their default locations: ./configure make make install Then I created a ~/.gtkrc-2.0. Still this didn't work. After some poking around, I found that my directory /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0 contain the following: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/ |------2.0.0/ |-----engines |-----immodules |-----loaders |------2.2.0/ |-----immodules |-----loaders After I did this, gtk found my themes: cd /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0 ln -s ../2.0.0/engines So it look like the gtk-engine installed itself in the 2.0.0. GTK 2.0 and 2.2 confusion. In many instances 2.2 really acts like 2.0. I ran across a similiar problem in the pkg-config utility too: 'pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.2' doesn't work but I can use 'pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0' to compile my 2.2 apps.
