;-) well, it tries to help you as much as it can (without getting overly
technical!)
firstly, you need to make sure that all of your libraries are properly
linked.
ldconfig -a
is the command to run.
secndly, you dont want /usr/lib to appear twice in your ld.so.conf file.
that can mess things up (and slow down library searches!)
FINALLY, are you SURE that the new gtk is in /usr/lib?
have you checked under
/usr/local/lib ?
if its there, then add this path to your ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig
-a again.
hint:
run 'updatedb' as root. it will take a while, but will build a directory
database of your system. then, to find files on your machine, you can
type
locate filename-that-i-want
and it'll find that file - with path. ideal for debugging problems such
as this!!
good luck!!
