I'm running libc6  2.1.1-1 and have no other problems.  I ran "dpkg -i
--force-overwrite" on the following packages from this GNOME mirror site:
ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gnome/gnome-1.0/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386

libgtk-1.2_1.2.3-0.slink1_i386.deb
libgtk-1.2-dev_1.2.3-0.slink1.i386.deb
libglib1.2_1.2.3-0.slink1.i386.deb
libglib1.2-dev_1.2.3-0.slink1.i386.deb

A recompile of the above source works fine - but it still SEGV's when I run
it.  I wouldn't have expected to have to do this on a Linux system, but do I
have to completely un-install everything to do with GTK and re-install it?  It
would seem rather drastic  :-(
