RE: Problem with GTK+, installing?

["Ralph M. Los" <ralph boundariez com>]

Hey,

	Thanks much for the reply.  The program I'm trying to compile is
Nessus.  Anyway, I got it to work last night.  I actually physically had
to move the /usr/local/include/gtk-1.2/gtk folder into the
/usr/local/lib and re-run ldconf and things started to work.  Strange.
I'm new to LINUX so perhaps it's something I don't understand?

	Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Ralph

gtk+-1.2 comes with gtk-config tool (shell script). It must be located
(in your
case) in "/usr/local/bin". Read its manual or just start 'gtk-config 
--cflags --libs'
it will show the location of gtk+-1.2 headers and libraries. If smth
looks wrong you always can edit it. Use that tool to compile your
program.

Read manual for ldconfig - ld.so.conf contains the path for ldconfig 
utility -
not include pathes. In the "/usr/local/lib" the libraries live. You must
not copy header files there.

By the way, if you compiled gtk+-1.2 from sources you can take a look at
"gtk+-1.2.9/examples" directory - its full of examples, each of them has
a makefile.
