Dear Linux Gurus
        Thanks for your help about the -lgtk thing!!!
however I still haven't been able to get that program to compile!
this is what's happening


[root@localhost /root]# gcc -o samp -lgtk -static sample.c
/tmp/cca002651.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cca002651.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `gtk_init'
/tmp/cca002651.o(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `gtk_window_new'
/tmp/cca002651.o(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show'
/tmp/cca002651.o(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `gtk_main'

And when I use
        gcc -o samp -lgtk sample.c

I get a whole lot of error messages some of which are as follows...
......
/usr/lib/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `g_string_equal'
/usr/lib/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `g_list_append'

        Well, it certainly makes me happy to know that there are is a
great linux community in this world which helps out newbies like me  :-)
Makes me feel like I belong.


Thanks for helping.
