BTW I didn't notice but what does it happen if you install a package, update it with YOU and then uninstall and reinstall it? Will YOU update it again?

0.9.7 binary would be OK from a trustworthy source learning how to build mine and generally find a more elegant solution to glib(2) gtk(2) would be better ;)

... i'm using 'sylpheed-0.9.6claws-7.i586.rpm' from the suse ftp site: /people/didge/[suse version]

me too but I'd like to move to 0.9.7 Actually having 0.9.7 is not my main target, being able to compile gtk, glib apps reliably without the fuss to install/uninstall to switch version is... if that is really the problem.

Just let me know how did you fix the problem of conflicting glib(1/2) & gtk(1/2) -devel. J. Ogley pointed out they are installed in the same place in 9.0 resulting in a mess. Did I understand it right? His solution was to install/uninstall them to keep the version that was useful in that moment. I don't find that solution really satisfactory especially considering I won't be able to update both in case of a security update dispatched by YOU (or at least not comfortably). Do you mean the headers of the email or the .h?? BTW I read your signature... do you have any "newbie to unix" tutorial on programming C++ to suggest me? I've programmed in C++ but I'm not familiar with programming it in unix environment... I'm thinking about some good *C++* library to deal with threads, system calls etc, just to make C++ more conscious of the underlying OS.

... sorry, i dont have the issue - compiled right off <grin>

Before I get crazy about it... did you have gtk1 *and* gtk2 *and* glib *and* glib2 -devel installed on SUSE 9.0? dodge's Sylpheed 0.9.6 crashed each time I tried to access an IMAP folder. I thought I could try to compile it. Everything went smooth. That box has glib, glib2, gtk and gtk2 installed. Compilation of 0.9.6 went smoothly. Folder problem was related to something else... I think Sylpheed expects to find some "standard" folders and when it doesn't find them crash... I'll check further later. Once I created (touch) those folders, refreshed IMAP folders etc... everything went smooth. I'll try again with 0.9.7 later... When I tried autoconf complained about glibc1 and gtk1 and gdkpixbuf missing... but when I installed them gcc complained about missing types in mmm was gtype.h
