Re: GtkExtra example doesn't build

[Al Hooton <al hootons org>]

        Oh, one more thing:

        Be *absolutely* sure your distro didn't originally install an old
version of gtkextra or gtkextra-2 for you.  I've heard that some distros
have done this in the past, although I've never run in to it myself.  If
that is the case, the compiler may be finding those old .h files because
they show up earlier in the header file search path, which could easily
cause the kinds of problems you're seeing.
        
        If there is an old version on your box, you'll have to remove all
traces of it if you're going to be successful building a newer
gtkextra-2...
