Looks like it's called gtk2
I recently had occasion to build gnumeric (1.4.3) on a Solaris 7 box used as a spectrometer controller. The
dependency tree is a bit daunting, but possible. Details available (I took careful notes) - mailto:Norm

For me, the most difficult piece to resolve was a very old (ancient) X running on solaris, and the
requirement for XFt and XRender. The newest versions of render support even old versions of X by drawing
characters - which is pretty, but very slow, the point being that I'd gladly accept a little less "look good"
for being able to bypass the advanced rendering and anti-alias, that requires me to build a font server and
an entire set of fonts, and the entire tree to support such.
I believe this is a GTK2 "feature" (which explains the cross post)(apologies) but I can't be the only person
who has this particular difficulty with paleohardware. If my very expensive instrumentation would run on a
more modern package, I'd dump it and it's associated problems in a nanosecond.

which is not exactly modern. It seems like a Fedora/RH derivative
which explains the lack of gnumeric. Leaving gnumeric out seems
like an odd choice for a distribution targeting science.
