Re: Trouble just getting GTK started

[Daniel Carrera <dcarrera math toronto edu>]

One option is to use Red Carpet from Ximian.org.  Go to the Gnome 2.0
developer snapshots and install the modules you want.

Ximian will do a dependency check and install everything you need.

The only instruction given for the tar install seems to be INSTALL. Following this instruction gets what seems to be a clean install of GLIB and GTK but chokes when installing ATK (can't compile the GLIB file because the ATK configure can't find the latest version of GLIB). I've tried editing the configure script to look for GLIB 2.0.4 (ATK is looking for 2.0.0) but that didn't work. After flying blind trying to install this, I reverted back to RPM's thinking they would do all the work for me. Wrong.
