Re: Problem in compiling pango 1.2.1

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 It's a known fact that Gtk 1.2 can coexiste with Gtk 2.0 -- I am not sure if
the problem you are having now has anything to do with the fact that you
deleted the header files. I think that now you have the libs on the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH from 2.2 and they might be being picked up by the apps using
gtk1.2 ( Unset the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and rerun the app that is having problem 
and see if it has any effect on that.)
 
  You shouldn't have deleted the header files. If it was failing due to
compilation error, it is likely that you did not export PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
point to the "new" version of Gtk. If that was set correctly, when you compiled
any program , the gtk1.2 header files would not even been seen by the compiler.

  You should reintall 1.2 or recover the header files just in case.

  I am condtantly upgrading Gtk as soon as a new release is out, and - to avoid
headaches- here is what I do:

  1) ALWAYS intall on the /opt directory: ( or some other dir other than
/usr/local or /usr

     i.e : /opt/gtk2_2_1

  2) After I install glib on the dir of my choosing, I cd to that dir and do
     export PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/bin/:$PATH
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gtk2_2_1/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

    Optionally, I add that to my .bashrc with a "Warning" message. Something
like: 
    echo "WARNING: Using gtk libs and binaries from /opt/gtk2_2_1"

    so that everytime I log in, I know that my lib and path have been modified.

  3) Install the rest of the pkg (.ie. atk, pango, gtk, etc.).

  After that, when I run an application that crashes, I can always unset PATH,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH  and rerun the app. If does crash again, I know it has nothing
to do with the fact that I am using a diffrent version of GTK. If it does not
crash, It is likely that the app is getting some library conflicts with the new
GTK.And I tkae from there.
  This way, it keeps things clean and I know exactly what I added versus what
was on the system when I installed. Later on, when I want to install a newer
version of GTK, I know it is safe to do a "rm -rf /opt/gtk2_2_1 without messing
up my machine."

  This is also the reason I do NOT use package managers as some of them have a
mind of their on !!!  (SOrry.. just got carried away :P)
