You probably need: libgnomeprint15-devel-0.37-4mdk And possibly also: libgnomeprintui2-2_0-devel-2.3.1-2mdk Both of which should be on the CDs. The thing to always bear in mind is that whenever a compile is looking for something and not finding it, it is almost always a "*-devel" package that it is seeking. Having a certain library package alone is *not* enough to be able to compile apps that will use that library - you will always need to have the "*-devel" RPM for that library installed as well. As far as gcc is concerned, it doesn't think that the library is installed, because it cannot locate the -devel files for it. :( HTH! -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according to every- body is the 'most reliable Windows ever.'
