glib doesn't really do that much. or glib does a lot but very simply. it is the bottom package. it is actually nothing but a gnu wrapper around libc. so the changes there are not really important. unless something really big happened to libc. libc has worked well forever. i used it with the algol wrapper so long ago. take advantage of the linux origins of the software. building your own glib is very easy. it does not even need a lot of disc space. i can make no promises that suse has provided a means to build a gtk2 easily, debian did for me. building my gtk2 deb needed to only see the configuration file that my personal build of glib put there and thankfully the rest just took build time. now my job is to keep them from installing their broken deb again until they fix it. are you absolutely married to suse for a distribution? carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
