Re: [gtk-list] trouble installing latest GTK+ 1.1.6

[Evan Lawrence <evan unix worldpath net>]

I'm relatively certain that, for what you're trying to do, you need to set
prefix to /home/collpits2/visitors/bernd, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to 
/home/collpits2/visitors/bernd/lib instead. Somebody please correct me if
I'm wrong - otherwise, hope this helps.
