Hi all, I recommend everyone bookmarks 'www.linuxdoc.org'. Building-Sources-HOWTO and RPM-HOWTO are relevent to recent discussions. When you want to do something new it is well worth a browse, particularly if your having difficulty - not just in Linux. I sure hope Andrew is at the end of his

Hi Andrew, If you make a compile attempt, and it fails then you go and fix the problem. Right? Of course you do, but when it fails the second time round then try a 'make clean' before reattempting the process - and then reextract the archive. I'll try and find more time later to think about

When I get into these kinds of problems, it sometimes helps to step back and take a systematic approach at fixing things. If the current gtk is getting in the way, get rid of it, and make it from scratch. First, uninstall the rpms (you don't seem to be having trouble with glib, so I would let th

Well, you're original gtk was the mdk version, right? If this is the case, then your `upgrade' using the redhat binary didnt uninstall the mandrake version first. I suggest doing this by hand, then installing the redhat rpm. I thought both of these distributions put gtk in /usr, but you may wan
