This is not really a GIMP-related issue, since the GTK libraries became
separate from the GIMP a long time ago. Nonetheless, there happen to be
people here who know something about this ;-)
I'm confused. Are these parts of an ancient version of gtk (without
+)?
Well, it's pretty old. But AFAIK the lack of a + symbol doesn't mean
anything. I believe the official name of the package as a whole is GTK+,
though specific packagers (e.g. Linux distributions) sometimes omit the
+, but in any case the actual shared libraries that get installed on
your system don't have + in their names. At least they don't on my
system, and I'm pretty sure it's not a meaningful distinction.
And if so, where can I download the sources, as I would prefer to
compile them myself?
You should be able to find them via www.gtk.org.
Just beware of replacing newer files with older ones. That *probably*
won't happen, since you say you've got the latest GIMP etc. ... that
implies you have GTK2 installed, so there shouldn't be any conflict.
Still, I'd suggest doing a dry run in a fresh install directory, just to
make sure you're not going to overwrite anything important.
Thanks. I daringly installed it into /usr/local/lib, and anything
works fine now. Fortunately the naming scheme had been changed in
gtk+-2.x, so no conflicts arise.

Bernd
