I thought I had managed to get Gtk-- to find the "new" gtk+, but
apparenlty not.

After following your advice and removing all vestages of the old
gtk+, and installing the new one in the default place (as opposed
to my prior attempt to get it running in a new, safe from harm
place) my Gtk--0.10.1 problem has changed to:

>Gtk-- 0.10.1 should work with gtk+ 1.1.5, really :-).

Ok, I'll see if i can figure out what's wrong with my system...

My first guess is maybe that the non GTKMM_HAVE_MEMBER_TEMPLATES
or non GTKMM_HAVE_AUTO_PTR code hasn't been well tested (and that
is what configure figures I should use), but the failing code seems
unrelated to either of those #defs.

Giving up my search for a cause, and just putting new #includes wherever
the seem to be called for is getting me much farther.

Changing 'class Gtk_Style;' in widget.gen_h to an include of gtk--/style.h
seems to have eliminated almost all of the errors.

I also porformed the unmitigated hack of changing /usr/include/g++/list
include stl's list.h via a full path to get it to pick up it's own
list.h rather then gtk--'s!  I must find a better way, but not yet, first
I need all possable speed for the following brick wall:

This doesn't seem to be a Gtk-- problem, but a gcc one.  Are there any
known problems compiling Gtk-- with gcc version 2.7.2.1?  Any known
workarounds?
