Bill et al,

I have reviewed the thread and am reminded that this problem arises
because I am using the gtk library from X11, which is subtly different
from the one that is assumed in gtk.ijs.

I think it makes more sense for me to acquire a gtk(+) library that is
more compatible with the code in gtk.ijs (has filenames that enable me
to just alter the noun libdir). But where is such a library? I could
not find one before and doubt that I can find one now. If I cannot
find one, I am not sure I want to install jgtk here because it will be
such a pain to update for new releases.

Would another alternative be for me to copy the few files from the X11
library into a new subdirectory in the j701 or j701-user directory and
rename those files to be like those named in gtk.ijs?

If so, what directory would I create and save the files into? I assume
it would have to be in j701-user in order to NOT be overwritten by a
new release. Is there another (configuration?) file where I can rename
or reconstruct the file/path associated with `install` in `jpath
'~install'` so that libdir does not have to be altered?

This all seems very complex and I don't know how others can install
jgtk so readily.
