Yes, I fixed with the help of the person that suggested to force the installation of glib and subsequently with GTK+ as well, which will be next thing you will encounter. I personally don't mind compiling when I have the time for it, because that will make it better for the computer. What you need to is the following install the rpm's for glib and gtk+ (the libgtk+ that is) then just compile the sylpheed-package, it is possible that after you fix the above things it might be possible to install the rpm, but I have not tried this It is possible that it is a bug in the configuration script or perhaps that Mandrake 8.2 doesn't install it if you do not put in Gnome. /Anders
