Re: gtk1.2.10 installs libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1

[Not Wizard <bowmanmail mindspring com>]

Thank-you for your advice, Sven!  I used it, and investigated 
config.log.  That file led me to alter the gnome-libs configure file until 
I determined the problem, which in-turn indicated my own lack of attention 
to detail:  After I installed X system, I failed to update my 
/etc/ld.so.conf file to enable location of X libraries.

The error that led me to believe the GTK version was at fault was 
misleading - that was simply the result of it having no access to one of 
the X library files.  I edited /etc/ld.so.conf, and after one other 
un-related bug, I successfully configured and installed gnome-libs-1.4.1.2!

Thanks again for the good advice that prevented me pursuing the incorrect 
path to fix my problem!
