Thanks for your help, Gerrit! -- Sonia. Today's random Debian Linux package => libgtkxmhtml-dev . GNOME is the "GNU Network Object Model Environment" . It is a project to build a complete, user-friendly desktop based entirely on free software. . This package contains the include files and static library for the gtkxmhtml widget, which is used to render HTML pages.
