Actually, you can already do this, *unless* the package you are trying to install has specifically asked for a newer version of gtk+2. What's probably happening in your case is that your package needs the newer version, and the newer version hasn't yet made it to the binary distro. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
