Re: gtk+-2.2.1 installation problem

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

  You have to get the lates GTK, don't bother with 2.0.6, it is a bit to old
now.

  The installation sequesce is:

  1) glib
  2) atk
  3) pango
  4) gtk


   Some other libraries might be needed, check the dependencies directory on
the download ftp server.

  trying installing them on a directory you have control of: (At least this is
what I do when getting new stuff -- you never know when existing stuff will
break because an upgrade :)

  Here is what I do, and it has helped me solve a lot of problems:

  1) untar glib; cd to glib dir.
  2) ./configure --prefix=/opt/GTK2.2.1  (since this is the latest)
  3) make && make install

  4) cd /opt/GTK2.2.1/lib ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     ( I am not sure what the env. var for solaris is since I do not have
solaris.)
  5) cd /opt/GTK2.2.1/lib/pkgconfig; export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

   6) CD /opt/GTK2.2.1/bin; export PATH=$PWD:$PATH


   7) cd to the dowload area, install atk, then pango, then gtk -- from his
pint on, it should be easy.

  Let me know if you still have problems.
