GTK ?.?

[Dark Ninja]

Well, I was recently in the process of installing a program, which, I was told, required GTK.

Now, I attempted to install GTK on my system before (I am running Mandrake 8.0) but, apparently the program didn't realize it was there...or something. I still quite haven't figured out what it is.

But, let me just check to make sure I'm doing the install part correctly: What exactly do I need to install GTK? And, what versions of that should I download.

(Here's the website here, in case anybody just needs to look real quick: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gtk/v1.2 )

the latest version of GTK+ and probably the latest GLIB too, i would imagine.

If you do have it installed on your system, then you can force ./configure to see them (i am assuming this is what youwere doing when u were told u needed GTK :) ) by adding a switch like '--with-gtk-includes=/dir/to/gtk/includes' and '--with-gtk-libs=/dir/to/gtk/libs'. You'll need to run './configure --help' to be sure of that tho' :)

Always look on your distro CD's first.

GTK is on the first Mandrake 8.0 CD
libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-1mdk.i586.rpm

If you're trying to build something from source you'll probably need this also:
libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-1mdk.i586.rpm

What you're trying to install might even be on the CD's also :)
