Cool, everything but gtk+ compiles relocated like this...
(I did exactly what you said minus the symlink ;-)

something wierd about atk (1.2.4) installation though that makes
gtk+'s (2.2.4) configure script choke...

Firstly, there was a silly typo in the gtk+-2.2.4 configure script
(a commented line with a leading `a', I assume I'm not the first
to encounter it... fixed the typo... continue...)

Now, the configure script starts by checking pango, and then atk,

configure fails on: `pkg-config --exists atk'

but then ouputs: `pkg-config --cflags atk` and `pkg-config --libs atk'
without any problems.

now why would pkg-config exit with return code "0" for `--exists' option
and "1" for `--uninstalled' option if `--cflags' and `--libs' option are
returning suitable output ?

I'm pretty sure this is either a glitch in the `configure' script or
a glitch in the installation proceedure of `atk'...


Any ideas ?
