It's because of them being installed in the same prefix on SuSE 9.0, and so the wrong versions of some of the header files get included, so I only have the '2' versions of the devel packages installed normally, unless I know I'm going to build something with GTK1, in which case I install the '1' versions :)
awful
Now I'm trying to compile sylpheed-claws and it requires gtk(1) stuff(really?).
I'd say install gtk-devel (let YaST pick up glib-devel as a dep for it) so you can build s-claws, and then remove it again.
awful I'm wondering if separating them and then use a symlink may interfere with upgrades made by YOU. Any better way? could suse release a "patch" to let the 2 libs + includes live toghether happily? 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?
