* Arthur H. Johnson II [Tue, 27 Nov 2001 10:04:02 -0500 (EST)]:
libgtk.so libgdk.so libgmodule.so libglib.so
Just an explanation why these are in the -devel packages: these are symlinks to the actual shared libraries and are only needed by the linker (ld), i.e. when you compile from source. If for instance you pass the linker -lgtk on the command line, it'll first search for libgtk.so (dynamic library) and then for libgtk.a (static library).
