First I would like to thank _ALL of you for your effort to help. After I got me all packages new, and unpacked them in a different location I still run into the same problem, so I went back to
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html and there I found this instruction: Several environment variables are useful to pass to set before running configure. CPPFLAGS contains options to pass to the C compiler, and is used to tell the compiler where to look for include files. The LDFLAGS variable is used in a similar fashion for the linker. Finally the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable contains a search path that pkg-config (see below) uses when looking for for file describing how to compile programs using different libraries. If you were installing GTK+ and it's dependencies into /opt/gtk, you might want to set these variables as: CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/gtk/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gtk/lib" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gtk/lib/pkgconfig" export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH You may also need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so the systems dynamic linker can find the newly installed libraries, and the PATH environment program so that utility binaries installed by the various libraries will be found. LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/gtk/lib" PATH="/opt/gtk/bin:$PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH ----------------- following the above instructions, I could finally finish compiling and installing _all_ everything :-) thanks again for your effort :-) -- LinuxUser aka Josef Oswald [EMAIL PROTECTED] registered-linux-user # 134.818 at http://counter.li.org The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-) _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
