sorry, type.   why they NOT provide a separate gtkmm package in RHEL/CentOS so other project can also benefit from its gtkmm?

Hi,

I heard gnome-system-monitor is based on gtkmm, and I also checked its source code, it's true.

But when I use ldd tool to check on RHEL5.4 or CentOS5.4's gnome-system-monitor binary, the result doesn't has gtkmm shared object at all.

My question is why is that?  Does gnome-system-monitor static link with gtkmm?

If so, why provide a separate rpm package in RHEL/CentOS? What are they trying to avoid?

 

Thanks,

Mike
