ok

i'll try that later to tidy things up.

no, first thing i did after gdk-pixbuf compiled cleanly was to run ldconfig.

gdk-pixbuf libs are in /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders.
/usr/local/lib is listed in ld.so.conf, the subdirectories should be 
found by ldconfig so i dont have to list every single one, right?

they did but /usr/local/lib *is* in ld.so.conf

um, i dont think. I wasn't watching it while it compiled and it probably 
sat for a few minutes before i even noticed it had stopped with an 
error.  I didn't look above for any other errors. While I watched it at 
teh beginning to compile files it seemed to be doing ok but then i 
started doing something else to pass the time.

yeah, they are in /usr/local/include/gdk-pixbuf. Is that not a good thing?

where can i get version info on that? Gnomeicu requires 0.20 based on 
the README file.

thanks
