you can install every version of the libs, the problem is only for the -dev stuff. My real problem is that every version from 1.1.7 to 1.1.16 comes in a different package, and that i have to remove them by hand every time there is a new one that i compile, very stupid stuff. I don't want 10 versions of glib/gtk installed ... Friendly, Sven LUTHER
