The answer is yes: I didn't uninstall the Inline stuff, and I didn't uninstall
the previous versions of gtk2-perl-xs... Is there a safe way to uninstall them?
And is it the right way, uninstalling them before a new version is out?

I've been using Gtk2-Perl for a few months now, without any problems due to Inline
and XS coexisting, so I didn't think that was a problem.

To be honest, I don't really care if the tests fail as long as the package itself
works properly. I didn't try the SimpleList though...

If you point me out to an example I should run to verify SimpleList works fine,
I'll try it. There were a couple of examples on this list recently, would they be
conclusive?

I've followed every release of Gtk2-Perl since the Inline stuff, but it seems
all other tests pass, it's only SimpleList that fails.

On my Solaris machine, I use to have problems with CodeGen.pm (grep failed, only 
a matter of quotes), but that was fixed by muppet a few releses ago (thanks!).

Yes, I have version 0.92 of Glib too. As you said, it's probably the Inline stuff.
I'd try removing that, but what's a clean way to do it?

Thanks,
