Hi, I have a problem. Whent I try to compile some gtk2 programs, my gtk 2 it is not found. I have installed gtk2, gtk2 devel, but when I try to compile geramik, I got a message that gtk 2 it is not found ? Any Ideea how to solve that or what packages I gave to install, or how to compile ?

My SuSE is 8.1 professional version...

This is what I have found to be the root causes of my problems with gtk under Suse8.1.

The default suse location for the pkg-config libs is /usr/lig/pkconfig/ but for some reason alot of apps look for it in /usr/local/lib/pkconfig.

I've taken to keeping 2 identical copies, /usr/local/lib/pkconfig and /usr/local/pkconfig. It's just an easy way out.

Rather than copying, symbolic links can be created. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com
