Since Evolution and others GNOME applications are already using those libraries and I didn't get any bug reports, I don't think there is a problem there.. First, you should check that Mdk packages work correctly.. (ie gnome spell is working correctly in Mdk Evolution package).. Then, if you compile from CVS, you should compile all relevent modules from CVS (ie gnome-spell, gtkhtml, gal and evolution).. Otherwise, you'll probably have many problems.. >> If you want to play with evolution and/or gtkhtml from CVS, check >> evolution mailing lists at ximian.com.. > > I'm on those mailing lists, but it seems nobody else is having this > problem, thus I suspect me and my use of the compiler and libraries. > > If you are telling me that that error only comes from an internal > application problem (like munged API/library calls), fine - I'll look > elsewhere (and that answers my question). > > If that error is due to the fact that I linked incorrectly to some old > library that doesn't work with the new Mandrake supplied control panel, > then I still need to know that so I can correct my procedures for using > the Mandrake provided development packages. > > It could even be that some previous upgrades of Mandrake development > packages left some "artifacts" on my system that would need to be > cleaned up manually. I'm sorry but I have no idea where your problem is coming from and I don't intend to spend too much time on that... -- Fr�d�ric Crozat MandrakeSoft
