gobject-2.0 ***M.I.A.***

[Robert Sugg <kay-sugg pacbell net>]

	I usually compile my packages plain vanilla - no added parameters. Over
and over I keep seeing references to "gobject-2.0". Yet when I look in
the glib RPM files I don't see such a name - folder or file. Please
advise as to where you have hidden this wumpus so that I may find it and
create a fresh GTK.
Thanks,
Kay-Sugg

P.S. The messages below are sandwiched between hyphen lines so that one

P.P.S. JPEG - v6
	libpng - 1.2.5 (1.2.8 made my system unstable)
