Re: Trying to do a "personal" install of gtk+1.2.10

[Lokesh Setia <lsetia78 yahoo com>]

Hello David,

If you are giving a --prefix=$HOME, then you need to add $HOME/lib
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and not $HOME/glib-1.2.10.

Just my random 2 cents, and please see the last few lines of
config.log when your ./configure fails :)
