Re: Problem compiling gtk+-1.2.6

[Dean Holloway <Dean Holloway Sun COM>]

Hi all, firstly thanks for the valuable help.

I was confused by the fact that everything looked okay with my v1.2.6 install 
i.e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set, glib-config was present and correct, but i still 
got the errors. Today i downloaded version 1.2.10, installed glib, made sure 
that LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set and gtk seemed to install okay.

Thanks again.

Dean.

BTW - my Solaris 8 system does not have a /sbin/ldconfig command.
