It's hardly a sudden change. Pygtk-1.99 is based on the gtk-1.3 line of products. The old gtk-config (and gnome-config and foo-config for your favourite foo) have now been replaced by pkg-config and a simple file for each package -- much easier after the initial learning hump. Also, for better i18n handling, pango exists and gtk depends on it. Also, there is atk (the accessibility toolkit) in the dependency chain, too (gtk depends on it). I don't know what you mean by not being able to source glib -- are you using glib-1.3.x and is pkg-config in your path (since that wil be needed by things that want to link against gtk, atk, pango and glib)? If you give more information here, we can probably help you. > I've been working with 6.8 and Python2.2a3-4 just fine, but there's a > problem I'm running into now that I think might be caused by the > mis-match (or my sucky programming, one or the other), so I thought > I'd give the new > pygtk version a try. The latest snapshot of pygtk (1.99.2) requires the Python 2.2a4 release, since it relies on one of the things that changed from alpha 3 to alpha 4. So if you are using the absolutely latest and greatest stuff, you need to be using the latest Python alpha as well. Hope this helps clarify the floor plan somewhat.
