But... with 1.3.5.2 I get the error--> (error "unknown font type" "Xft") problem. with latest git I run into m4 problems aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory where the documentation says that I should pretty much guess what it's looking for? with 1.3.3 (which I have running on my gentoo machine at home) I get lots of glib errors during compilation: .... colors.o:/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gutils.h:343: first defined here windows.o: In function `g_trash_stack_height': /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gutils.h:356: multiple definition of `g_trash_stack_height' colors.o:/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gutils.h:356: first defined here the same goes for 1.3.4 and 1.3.4-experimental However 1.3.5.1 seem to work fine!!! So other CentOS 5.3 users should probably go for 1.3.5.1... Petter
