i'm trying to create an installer of my program for all variants LINUX, but
am having trouble with something i had hoped/though would be trivial.

how does one confirm from the shell which version of the *run-time* GTK+
libraries are installed?

   - pkg-config won't work since destination machine has no .pc files as
   there's no dev install (nor should there need to be)
   - platform-specific solutions do exist (e.g. "dpkg -l ..." for ubuntu,
   "yum install ..." on redhat, "apt-cache show ...", etc.), however

i'd like the following:

   - platform-independent solution
   - version confirmed at installation of program

i know i can check the version at program startup, but this is too late, i
don't want to install *anything* until the target machine conforms to
minimum version requirements.

is this possible, or must i discover platform-specific solution for each new
platform as they arise?

any pointers greatly appreciated,

richard
