RE: [gtk-list] cannot compile using gtk

[trout2 <trout2 advancenet net>]

thanks for the reply:

it is very true that i don't know very much about gcc.
i ran "gtk-config --libs"
it returned this string:
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lXext -lX11 -lm

/usr/local/lib exists, as does /usr/X11R6/lib

i found all of the corresponding libraries (assuming that -lgtk
corresponds to libgtk.a, libgtk.la, libgtk.so, libgtk.so.1.6) except for
whatever corresponds to -lm (i could find no libm.a, etc).

is this reasoning correct?

i am assuming that gtk-config tells gcc where to look for libraries (in
these dir)

thanks
