        When I try putting it last, again I get tons of error messages
like (hundreds of such messages:

/usr/src/bs/BUILD/gtk+970925/gdk/gdkwindow.c:1186: undefined reference to
`g_free'
/usr/src/bs/BUILD/gtk+970925/gdk/gdkwindow.c:1188: undefined reference to
`XFree'
/usr/lib/libgdk.a(gdkxid.o): In function `gdk_xid_table_insert':
/usr/src/bs/BUILD/gtk+970925/gdk/gdkxid.c:33: undefined reference to
`g_warning'

this is what is happening

[root@localhost /root]# gcc -o samp -lgtk -lgdk sample.c

        God. I'm scared...well, a typical newbie I guess. But I'm
happy that there are helpful people like Glynn in this world! :-)
        
        thanks for the help!
