This, on LINUX-NET?! There is a gtk mailing list, you know.
Gtk incompatibility is the newest fad; they seem to enjoy breaking the API
*grin*
However, your problem is quite solvable. You can install 1.0.x fine since
it won't erase libgtk-1.1.so.1.1.3 - and that's what mpegtv expects.
However, if you need to _compile_ programs with both 1.0.x and 1.1.x you
are better off putting both versions of gtk on different prefixes. I use
/usr/local for 1.0 and /usr/unstable for 1.1. When configuring the
applications that use gtk before compiling I specify --with-gtk-prefix to
where I want it - or, if that configure option isn't available, change the
gtk-config binary used in the configure script to the right one.
